Maybe they're just doing it slowly enough since more recent splatbooks have been inching away from the more "natural language" approach for a long time now. It's not a big change in how games will go down, but it does indicate some pretty fundamental changes in RPG philosophy that I think will guide how 5.5e develops in the future. If this goes over well with the 5e newbies then I could really see 6e bringing back even more 4e-isms. I do see a lot more complaining about "natural language" etc. than support for it on Reddit (which seems to skew a lot less grognard than here). Personally this is probably my biggest single sacred cow in D&D so I don't like WotC cutting slices off of it, but I'm probably in the minority on this point these days. My single biggest annoyance with 4e was all of the keywords and such and I wonder how many people who disliked 4e disliked it for that reason vs. other reason or if any of the old 4e edition wars are at all relevant anymore.</blockquote>
