[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5806446, member: 7883"] This is a good point. It's also why I'm a little leery. I feel there are different design parameters between 3E and 4E, and wonder if it's possible to combine both into 5E. Maybe it is...I don't know. I guess, with the Book of Nine Swords, you had pieces of 4E working with 3E, but there were purported balance issues. If they can find a way to get the manoeuvers for characters like fighters and rangers from 4E, and put them into an edition with spellcasters that work more like 3E spellcasters (in general) possibly with some component similar to what they introduced with reserve feats etc., they could be on to something. I don't envy them the challenge. If they stray too far either way, they risk losing even more customers.......piss off the 4E fans who feel their edition was killed prematurely, or who don't want elements of 3E creeping into their game, or further anger the 2nd Ed and 3E fans who chose not to follow D&D into 4E. Interesting challenge. Hopefully they can find some way to make both sides happy. Banshee [/QUOTE]
