[QUOTE="Magil, post: 6020520, member: 6672353"] I hear "less is more" a lot, but that's only true to an extent. If you significantly reduce the amount of interesting decisions I need to make when I level up, then I probably won't be interested in the game. My personal hope is that they eventually get rid of "dead levels" in DnD Next and I am telling them this via feedback at every opportunity. I don't like any time I gain a level and the only thing I get is a numbers boost in certain areas (and bounded accuracy is going to reduce that somewhat too). Take the current 2nd level of fighter, where the only thing you get is +1 to a skill and some HP. 4/8 are mostly the same, except with ability score bumps. As for the comment about being easier to break down, I say, oh well. I'd rather they make more interesting decisions for us to make and work to balance them than take away the decisions. I'm fine with making combat flow faster and thus keeping options for what you do on your turn simple--but please do not extend this to the character creation process. The current approach, I think, will work if things like Specialties and Fighting Styles are optional. But I hope that eventually I will be able to choose feats and maneuvers on an individual basis. If not, I will be very, [I]very[/I] disappointed. [/QUOTE]
