[QUOTE="sidonunspa, post: 4488464, member: 4360"] lets see in 4e my ranger had 6 attack matrixes.. Melee: Two-Handed Sword, Two-Swords, w/power attack (-2/-5), w/combat expertise (-2/-5) Ranged: Bow, /w power attack (PrC), with "trance" (PrC) Not counting spells & common outside buffs. I still remember taking a few min between turns to write up my new attacks and damage when someone else buffed me. But "I attack, power attacking for -4" sounds sooooo much cooler" or when you have a spike chain, trip monkey... "I trip, and use improved trip" yay! in 4e all you have to wait is one level, in 3.5 (unless you use the retraining rules) you are stuck with the feat, forever. you know you pick up levels in a "orc slayer" class and suddenly the GM stops using Orcs. You never had a magic item crafter in your group make the fighter a +1 frost, shocking, acid longsword? or the +1/+1 ghost touch, holy staff of Disruption? I know in my group, we would take a week or so brake between major story points as the cleric and wizard crafted better items. Seems people forget the 24 strength character with +1 Spike Chain (2d4) of frost (+d6), Shocking Burst (+d6 and if a crit +d10) on a character with +6 to hit in buff spells who rages (+2 more to hit and damage) and uses his power attack swaping the total bonues +16 damage, gaining a sweet 2d4+26+2d6 (+d10 if critical) who then clicks his boots of speed (+1 to hit and an extra attack) and takes 8 damage from divine sacrifice (ring of spell storing, filled by the paladen) for a total of 2d4+26+2d6+4d6.. btw not adding a million other bonuses I can come up with... or rouge levels.
