They've learned from the mistake of 3.0->3.5, which caused a lot of bad feeling for being not enough change to warrant a new edition.I'm getting a quite different impression, btw. 4e will be very, very close to late 3e, especially if you used ToB, Complete Arcane/Mage and MM 4/5*. It will have much the same core system as 3e. Even small stuff like swift actions and 5 foot steps (renamed shifts) are still in. It's just the numbers going into that system have been rejigged.*One of the WotC podcasts, called You May Already Be Playing 4e, talked about this in a lot of detail. SWSE was the other source referenced.</blockquote>
