[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5953373, member: 1210"] Dude, you're preaching to the choir here- I'm the poster boy for allowing different playstyle preferences. Note the "I thinks" and "I don't thinks" in my post. That said, if we don't voice our opinion and feedback, we may well end up with a monstrosity of mismatched rules that don't fit together at all. And IMHO fighters don't need "powers"- if the 5e fighter is going to emulate the 4e version (and I think there should be options for it), it should be closer to the Essentials model, with stances and the like, rather than the AEDU model. I think the very term "power" when it comes to fighters rubs a lot of D&D players the wrong way (thus leading to so much of the divisiveness that 4e brought to the D&D fan base), and I think it would be much better to choose another term. (In fact, everything we've seen so far concerning the complex fighter seems to imply that they have done just that- I've seen a lot of references to manuevers, rather than to powers). Even if there are options for fighters to pretty much follow an AEDU model, I hope they don't call their abilities "powers". [/QUOTE]
