[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 5931738, member: 5100"] Don't get me wrong. I'm an AD&D fan. That doesn't mean that 3e and 4e don't have any value, rules-wise. I want to see rituals stick around. I want the warlord and warlock, too. I prefer 4e skills over 3e, though it looks like 5e will pick neither (hopefully learning from the shortcomings of each). While I don't care for the universal table of class abilities, I certainly like the class customization they offer and hope to see that continued, rather than the blanket of "it's a feat" from 3e. Conversely, I specifically and emphatically don't want a Talislanta or "creature cantina" setting with dozens of PC races assumed and/or implied as standard. I think the dragonborn (and maybe tieflings and/or goliaths) provide enough non-Tolkien spice for the core. I'd like to see halflings dropped, but recognize that's not likely. I also don't really want to foist two versions of elves on the world, but I don't see any other way to not tick off either people like me who see the arcane eladrin as proper elves or those like one of my players who are more fans of the granola, woodsy elves.
