[QUOTE="sjmiller, post: 4291431, member: 17262"] And you know, in my opinion, that is where they dropped the ball. The players in my group will have a great deal of difficulty re-creating the "feel" of their 3.0 core-based characters because many aspects of their characters are not possible in core 4e. It's rather like telling someone to re-create the feel of this silk and velvet garment with this homespun cotton and burlap. It wouldn't be nearly so bad if they actually made it possible to re-create things like a bard, or a sorcerer, or a necromancer, or any of a host of other things they threw out. It's awfully hard to tell someone that they can't play what they want because the game doesn't support it. Sure, some of it will come out later, but for now they just have to suck up and deal with it, I guess. It's that sort of thing that makes it hard for some people, like myself, to get behind 4e. It has been presented to us as the best thing since the creation of polyhedral dice. From all that I have read in the books so far, I think they missed the mark. I am glad I was given the books, because what they said we would get and what we got are not the same thing, and I would be really upset if I actually had to pay for it. [/QUOTE]
