Book of 9 Swords indicates to me that we are going to have fighters, rangers, knights, rogues, etc... flying through the  air, jumping 20 feet into the air to land on roof tops, and then leap 40 to 50 feet from roof top to roof top, or leaping from treee to tree on the tips of their toes, or call on their "chi" to perform other super human and magical feats.So if that ends up being true in 4E, then it will no longer be my kind of D&D. When I want that kind of fantasy I'll turn to BESM, or GURPS, or Exalted. Not to a game that I no longer consider to be the fantasy flavor that attracted me to D&D in the first place.I already have 4 editions of D&D and the C&C rules sets to give me that.So thats why I can't get excited about 4E, and why I pay less and less attention to all the "teaser" news. It will be better for me to wait and see the final and complete version. Instead of the next 5 to 7 months wondering if my relationship with the current version of D&D is going to be considerably weaker than ever before.I mean look at things from my perspective. I am looking at parting ways with a game that I have spent 22 continuous years of my life playing regularly. A game that has helped me meet many good people. A game that allows me to spend many enjoyable hours gaming with my wife and kids.  It would be very nice for me if I can stay connected to the current edition and community of that edition. If 4E is done in a way that turns me off, my ties to that game and community are going to go away.That does not excite me.I don't know, maybe 4E modules and other similiar support products will keep me connected enough. Still, I won't know that until after 4E gets here.So until then I am going to feel like my relationship to D&D is up in the air. Not a fun or exciting feeling to have to look forward to for over 5 more months.</blockquote>
