[QUOTE="Kaffis, post: 4287367, member: 10305"] As far as 4e being less "tinker-friendly" -- I disagree. I think 4e is simply more about tinkering *in the game* rather than tinkering with the numbers on your character sheet. Is there less to fiddle with and optimize as far as feat selection and frankenstein-PrCing goes? Yes. Is there way more to experiment with once the figures are on the map and the dice hit the table? I think so. To me, this represents a shift from "armchair CharOp" as a hobby to "playing D&D" as a hobby. That's a shift I'm not going to complain about. Instead, I'm going to complain that my group only has so much time to play! ;) DDI's full roll-out will hopefully offer me the chance to fill a bit more odds and ends time (say, weekday evenings) with digital games.
