I miss my non-combat related skills, I miss poison that last more than a few seconds, and I miss being turned to stone forever. Do I plan to add these features back in, sure do. But even without these features in the game this is still DnD. Last night we played our first session of 4E and I had a blast. Matter of fact the only person that didn't grok the new system is the one person that always seems to have issues with the system no matter what it is. My wife has told me twice that she really liked the new options. I honestly don't care for the fact that some of the classes I want (druid I'm looking at you) aren't in the first players. But it does make business sense for them to play things out in small doses. It keeps interest high in the new products, and gets more sales from folks as them continue to buy so they can pick up the other classes. DnD is a business and they have to make money. I'm not happy with all of their decisions, and I actually loathed a few of them. The canceling of Dungeon and Dragon primarily. Has these business decisions cost wotc some good will in the gamer community, yes, and they'll need to work hard to earn that back. But I am a loooong way away from not buying a single DnD product for over five years, and having zero interest in anything they're producing. Which is were an awful lot of us where in the last fear years of TSR. -Ashrum</blockquote>
