[QUOTE="Chris_Nightwing, post: 6105187, member: 882"] Finally had the chance to read through the majority of the packet. As ever, I like some things, I dislike other things. Some problems remain, some have changed, some have gone. Immediate impression is *still* unnecessary complexity when it's obvious how certain things can be streamlined (such as attack bonus/deadly strike/multiattack). I also think they should try to design the next packet *without* any feats whatsoever, because they are becoming heavily reliant on them and there must be a better way to implement customisation without including half of the combat system. I like that you have some decisions to make in your skills, but the skill dice is still not a good idea. I like the Fighter mechanic, except that it uses dice again, damn those dice. I don't like alignment restrictions, but I'm not really a Paladin guy. I like the direction of druids, but they need to think more carefully about them. I like the direction of Rangers too. They are closing up gaping chasms in the system though, so I think we're getting somewhere, albeit via a random walk. [/QUOTE]
