[QUOTE="chubbyloremaster, post: 5656494, member: 6681181"] After a few adventures in the world of pathfinder and non mainstream rpg I wanted to look back at the great game which D&D was once again. My first encounter with the 4E was very brutal and unforgiving as the WOTC Scales of war campaign produced an easy TPK in the 3rd ecnounter of the adventure and left the players and myself asking why does this things work the way they work, like the daily powers for people using martial abilities. If curiosity killed the cat this would be my 2nd life. An internet reviewer hooked me on the essential thing about class changes and I ordered a couple of essential books and started to look form more essential like items like the assasin (wchich in my opinion is the most loyal version of the assasin since ad&d). This is where the problem started. Each review that I found criticised Essentials for various reasons and labeled books as essential type books and traditional 4E type books. Please explain to me the difference between those two takes on D&D and if you can point out some books or magazines where I can find more essential goodies. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
