It radically changed the FR in so many ways that it's barely recognizable. Alot of people were really turned off by that. But there were also some people that liked the changes. If they leave the setting unchanged from 4e, they're not going to win anyone back. If, on the other hand, they pretend the spellplague never happened, they'll turn away the people that liked it. One thing they could do is support both time periods and let people play in whichever era they prefer. I'm not sure how well that would work, but it's the only solution I can think of that can possibly please everyone.Why even have subraces at all? Can't different elves from different regions just be different culturally but the same mechanically? Humans from various cultures are radically different but are still the same race mechanically. Why can't the same be true of elves, dwarves, etc? I'm tired of having a dozen different elf subtypes and players choosing them not for roleplaying reasons, but because this particular type of elf gets a bonus to Int and this other one gets Cha, etc. Just say NO to subraces!I think Drow and Genasi should be distinct races. Unlike sun, moon, star, wild, wood, etc. elves, which are very similar to each other except for culture, the drow are radically different from other elves and should be a separate race. Genasi, likewise, are radically different from humans. The same goes for aasimar and tieflings.There are alot of ways they could make the swordmage. It could be its own class, it could be a sorcerer origin or wizard tradition, or it could even be a specialty. I don't really have a preference either way.</blockquote>
