[QUOTE="thedmstrikes, post: 5781436, member: 56834"] I would like to thank Mercurius for beating me to the punch with his reply. While not my words the sentiment is essentially the same. Malkav666 also hit the nail on the head. There will be a ruleset of some type and that is the basis from which I will be adjuticating multiple build styles of players under the concept of the new edition. A trully daunting task when I think on it. At least in the beginning of each group I become part of. I say this because I move alot due to work and find myself with a new group after a year or so. I am in wait and see mode for what tidbits the new powers at WOTC will eventually release for our side of the screen. In other news, I would like for the designers to publish their new modules that include the "splat book" upgrades for bad guys with the newer adventure modules published during the same time frames. Not a focus on one or two new things but a rollup of the newer material that could be applied to the adventure. Obviously not every new rule needs to be in each new adventure, but if the shoe fits, why not use it? I say this because the PCs will be making use of the newer material and I have discovered that it puts the "older" style of bad guys at a disadvantage, and thus, less of a challenge than they could be. Now I know some of you out there think it is a simple thing to make the updates yourselves, but the point of view I am expressing is that I am spending money on this new adventure module, so why not give it the bells and whistles and let me dumb it down if I need to. That is certainly an easier task for me than constantly checking the multitude of books to build them up. Consider that many of the original fan base are family people and in many cases are introducing the new blood from their own prodgeny, and in some now, their grandchildren. Designers know the information better than us, the consumers. So, let us dumb it down when necessary and give us the advanced version to start with. I am starting to ramble about htis, so I will let it go... [/QUOTE]
