[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8354339, member: 22779"] There is a point to be remembered as well. 4e was an iteration of 3e. There was a considerable amount of DNA in the 4e design that was from 3e. Yeah, yeah, different games and all that, but, it was there. To the point where someone coming from latter era 3.5 looking at a 4e character sheet probably wouldn't have too many difficulties deciphering most of the character sheet. Going from 2e to 5e? There's 6 basic stats? That would be about the only similarity and what those stats mean in the game are totally different between 2e and 5e. 4e and 5e are both quite obviously based on the d20 mechanics of 3e. That's undeniable. So, sure, lots of stuff is going to look pretty similar because they're all drawing from the same well. But, to me, yeah, I look at 5e and see a trimmed down 4e. I most certainly don't see a 2e at all. [/QUOTE]
