[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9039289, member: 6801228"] Right, you don't know. Saying "but they could change it and make it worse" while also saying "see, look at this bad thing in the playtest" is no different than "but they could change it and make it better" while saying "see, look at this great thing in the playtest". You are just looking for what you want. Point in case. You said previously "this is the company that gave us the Twilight Cleric and [I]Silvery Barbs[/I]." And sure, they did (though I've never had a problem with either), but they are also the company that gave us the Vengeance Paladin and [I]Magic Missile[/I]. Someone else said that they were the company that gave us The Purple Dragon Knight, well, they are also the company that gave us the Ancestral Spirit Barbarian. The Ranger was pretty weak in 5e? True, but have you looked over the One DnD Ranger? It is a whole different beast and quite good overall. Sure, they don't always get everything right, and especially not the first time. But... overall they do a good job. The fact we can complain about this subclass or that subclass, or this monster which is out of tune instead of just declaring the entire mess unplayable? It means that the majority of it is fine. So yes, you can predict that One DnD will utterly fail, that everything in it will be bad. But it likely won't. The Majority of it will be good. Will they make some misstep, somewhere? Of course. But the majority of things people seem to be latching onto are small things, and/or things that WoTC seems very much aware of. So, if we are going to gamble on the results, why assume it will end up in the 15% of the bad stuff, instead of the 70% of the perfectly fine stuff? [/QUOTE]
