[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 7954833, member: 6855114"] Not really. You could be guided as a new player in 3.5ed to do an OK fighter. And by 14th level, any fighter or martial character is there only to support the CODZILLA or the Wizard... The goal of 5ed was not to make it accessible to dumb people or to lower the intellectual bar required to play. It was to eleminate, streamline and refine the rules. It was to get rid of all that was cluttering the older editions to make it faster in execution. In that, in the play test, we did a lot of work. We gave a lot of feedback, and it was heard, and it was acted upon. Was it always good? Definitely not. But it was the best that could be achieved with the compromise required to make 5ed a good game. And a good game it is. Not perfect, but way better in terms of balance and ease of play (meaning you don't have to have an excel spreadsheet to keep your bonuses as some people did). [/QUOTE]
