[QUOTE="MDSnowman, post: 1770502, member: 6255"] [B]Does D&D need a 4th Edition? [/B] No... it didn't really need a 3.5 edition either... which is why we'll likely see 4th edition sooner as opposed to later :\ [B]Will 95% of the things talked about in this thread happen?[/B] Not on your life... you may see a few things like Vitality / Wound Points mentioned in the DMG. But the Cleric won't be abolished, Armor will improve AC, Hit Points will still balloon. [B]What do I want to see that will never happen?[/B] More and Better options for High Level characters... there's a reason there are thousands of Prestige Classes around because being a 20th level fighter or 20th level ANYTHING has almost no pay-off. Why get yet another bonus feat when you can gain a cool class ability instead? At least magic users have a reason to stick with their class, falling behind the power curve when it comes to spells sucks when you haven't planned specificlly for it. I want to also see a better alternative to spell progressions as they are now... multiclassing out of a major spellcasting class is nearly suicidal the way the rules are now... Really though I dont think we need a 4th edition... all my problems are answered in some degree or another by Arcana Unearthed, and with Arcana Evolved hopefully it'll have the look it'll deserve.
