[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7596723, member: 22779"] Well, as someone who's played both 4e and 5e pretty extensively, I can honestly say that playing 5e with a 4e player centric approach works perfectly fine for us. Playing 4e with 5e's more DM centric focus would work, although, ((I'm going to be so sorry I said this)) I think it would slow play down considerably for players to constantly have to check with their DM to make their powers work. Or, rather, in 4e, the goal:method approach isn't really needed since the players have so much power invested in the players by the rules of the game. :D The rules really are quite clear about this - that the players should be the ones clearly in the drivers seat for a lot of the game. Thus players tell the DM what skill they would like to use during a skill challenge, for example and, the DM is to some degree obliged to allow it provided the table is happy. I simply extend the same approach to 5e to be honest. ((Wow, that felt great!!)) [/QUOTE]
