"Hot" take: Aesthetically-pleasing rules are highly overvalued

[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8113140, member: 7015698"] I personally prefer the way powers were presented in 4e to the way spells are presented in 5e. When I reached a level in 4e I knew EXACTLY where to look for the new powers I could take. Flip to the class in the book, get to the level and BOOM! usually about four choices, all on the same page or two. None of that flipping and flapping back and forth that I have to do to compare 5e spells. It's why I wish spells were organized by level instead of alphabetically first! Picking a spell is a pain. First you go to the spell list, which, BTW, doesn't indicate which spells are rituals so you need to flip pages to each spell to see if they have the ritual tag... then you flip flip flip read, flip flip flip compare, oops was the other one concentration? flip flip flip... it's annoying as heck! At least make a page break at each letter if you're going to break them up alphabetically! And each spell should have an icon that tells you on which list it appears! Bleh. Even if 4e was to pare down powers to a unified list, it would have been the best to have them reprint the specific ones a class can take on a per-level class list in the class section instead of having one power list in a far flung section (though I would assume it would be organized by level).
