[QUOTE="Foundry of Decay, post: 4214233, member: 846"] I agree with a great deal of these dealmakers. I'd also like to add a 'me too' to being more excited to DM this edition than *any* previous edition. The fact that classes are brought more in line with each other is another large plus for me. I never cared for mages being in one school of play, clerics being in another, druids being yet another, and paldins/rangers/other hybrids being shunted off into their own little sphere of class ability. The melee classes started to lose steam later on. Instead of a fighter rolling the 10d6 that the mage did after the mage cast a 'guaranteed hit' fireball, they were stuck with rolling a degrading list of numbers in the hope that perhaps two of their attacks hit. Will I miss 3e? Certainly. There were parts of the game which showed that they were obviously written with as much love and care for the game that 4e's authors have for D&D. I even thank the people who brought 3e into light after 2e had more or less breathed its last breath. 4e is merely an evolution based on the framework of earlier editions. It won't please everyone's taste but that would be impossible. I'm one of those people who was pleased with what they previewed. Every time I read one of the dev's logs (especially Mike Mearl's) about games they are running or playing in, I think to myself: I cannot wait to DM this edition. [/QUOTE]
