[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8438567, member: 87792"] For me, and for you, there is little difference. But we are not 100% of the potential players of 4e or even close. There definitely [I]are[/I] players who prefer stances and I've DM'd for two at the same table who were struggling a bit with 4e until one of them got to play a scout (not even a slayer) and another a pyromancer (elementalist). These are also not normally people who worry about the optimal action - just one that's good enough. And before you say that the scout isn't any simpler than e.g. a 4e PHB Ranger, for you and me this would be right. But he had two years of 4e experience and by the second session he was far [I]far[/I] more fluid with the rebuilt scout than he had been with the ranger he'd been playing for three months. I think people really really don't understand that different people have different thought processes and don't all think the same way. And seriously underestimate that one of the strengths of a class system is being able to cater more effectively to different players. [/QUOTE]
