[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 5922234, member: 17106"] They aren't really that different. The player plays one character. The DM plays all the other characters, and determines all the non-character-based events, and interprets the rules. He's just a really powerful player plus a referee. They really aren't that different, and the character creation process for either really isn't that different. And, since generally no one knows how long a character is going to last or how much use it will see, there really isn't any difference in the time for creating a PC or another character (monster/NPC). Of course, the time for both could stand to come down, which is why we need to cut back on magic items, spell slots, and other things that require a lot of time. I only ever looked at them in the store, but even if I were somehow playing 4e, I would still be using my 3e monster manual an trying to find some way to convert stats (as I am now for my 3.X that requires almost everything to be redone). Again, it's an opinion, and the market as a whole has spoken plenty on this and will continue to. [/QUOTE]
