[QUOTE="Ferdil, post: 4430480, member: 71730"] This way, it's much better. Before, there was a lot of stats that were only flavour and background. I see many friends of mine that played 3.5 that think the background and roleplaying as some kind of stat. Now the stats are stats and the background is the background. As well the rules are the rules and the roleplaying is the roleplaying. IMO the roleplaying shouldn't be in the rules in any way because that's what YOU create and it's not the book that does the RP for you. This way, you're not limited in any way to roleplaying. If you want, you can also not roleplay (even if it would be a quite plain experience), or roleplay so much that you're able to suspend disbelief for hours. The rules are there to manage things that have randomness. D&D is just an evolution of the games children do: «i'm a troll, you're the paladin», or «i'm batman, you're hulk». Just now you can see who wins with the rules, instead of saying «I hit you» «But I dodge you» «but i'm faster than you» «no i'm faster» «no I am» etcetera. If there is no chance to fail or to determine something related to something that can fail the rules should not even exist. There's still your imagination, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
