[QUOTE="Bunnicula, post: 4392170, member: 71798"] I have to agree with Ruin Explorer. This system IS slightly more restrictive, but we'll have more and more options as new books come out. And frankly, as someone who's only been gaming a few years, the simplified rules open up a lot of options for me. I don't HAVE to have 200 pages of rules, exceptions, equipment and errata memorized to use a wizard effectively, and for the first time I don't find myself slowing down the group by having to look stuff up every damn time it's my turn. I do wish there were more options for feats and powers. At 5th level I'm already getting itchy about the constrained choices. But, I can be patient while they turn out some new books. The Tome of Treasures is due out in September, which will help, and Martial Power and Arcane Power should be almost entirely new things I want. PHB II promises, what is it, 4 new races and 3 new classes? I can't find the gossip thread right now. But I think you're just feeling stuck because you're playing the bare bones of a game we normally experience as almost infinitely rich. [/QUOTE]
