Streamlined and faster play.2.) Easier and faster monster/NPC generation3.) Faster leveling4.) More kewl abilities and powers with per-day/per-encounter & at-will abilities5.) etc.Yet I really don't know how these things are being implemented or what form they will take in actual production or in the game as a whole.  An example, IMHO, are Prestige Classes in D&D 3.5.  I originally thought these were a great concept and assumed(wrongly) that WotC would provide hard and fast rules for designing them, especially since these were suppose to be a way for DM's to customize their campaigns.  Instead they became endless book filler that never got official rules for construction(this is one of my big fears about "traditions" for wizards).  I honestly don't think I'll be buying the books when they first come out.  The whole process seems rushed and WotC isn't known for their excellent editing or proofreading.  I would rather wait, learn more about the system(by checking out the SRD) and make a decision on the 2nd or 3rd printing.</blockquote>
