This is an area where the design was VERY effective in 4e. Over time, even though some new things were introduced, and certain design elements shifted a bit in significance, the game held to a consistent standard of equivalence. In fact there was, arguably, ANTI-CREEP in some respects (OK, the e-Wizard kinda breaks it, but not badly). This is because the design language of 4e is VERY VERY clear to designers. The danger with a game like 5e is that over time new guys come along, they have a somewhat different perspective and they want to 'innovate', but if they don't have that design language, the game will get muddier and muddier over time. Its a downhill trajectory.</p></blockquote><p></p>
