I enjoyed seeing the cinematic hit point option (recover all if < bloodied,recover to bloodied < bloodied) coupled with swift cure spells. In general I applaud the swift spell and concentration mechanic. I really like the concentration mechanic - a lot. It's a nice limiter on spell casters dramatically shaping each individual encounter. I'm also a big fan of the fact that Paladins are supernatural from day one. Not so sure about rangers - digging favored enemy though.<eats socks>That being said there's still a lot that I want to see.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'd really like to see stronger attention paid to theme in monsters. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In general I want more interesting monsters and advice on which monsters fit together. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I want strong encounter building advice.

It's really important to me that the mode of play I enjoy not be treated as 2nd class.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I do not like every round trip.

I want a lot. WotC is competing with 13th Age, Fate Core and Exalted 3e. Sorry for the long rambly post.</blockquote>
