[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 4954437, member: 46713"] We took a week off to give 4E a try and played it for about five (relatively short) sessions. This was enough to complete the first part of the 'Ashen Crown' adventure and convince all of us that we liked the system. Over the course of this week we noticed a significant improvement regarding how long it took us to complete a combat encounter. It really does take a while to get to know your options and powers. After that, two players mentioned they wanted to rebuild their characters because they weren't happy with their power selection (wizard) or build (fighter) and one player wanted to try a different class/role (cleric). The barbarian and the bard player were quite happy with their choice; I'm not sure about the warlord player who seemed to want to continue playing her character at least for a while and the ranger player who wasn't a regular player from my 3E group (and in fact new to rpg) didn't seem to be interested in continuing to play. Since it's recommended to keep all pcs at the same level at all time, I don't think I would mind players switching characters between adventures or even sessions as often as they like. If they can find an in-character reason for the switch, that's fine for me. There's no point in continuing to play a character you don't enjoy playing. [/QUOTE]
