[QUOTE="Smerg, post: 3911641, member: 57427"] Just a word of note on simplify. It does not mean neuter. WotC means simplify by saying that all things will be roll d20 and add modifiers. It means that all classes have similar progressions. It means that monsters will have similar layouts. Again, similar does not mean identical. There is plenty of room for variety. Magic the Gathering has basically simple mechanics with similar layouts. This still allows for thousands of possabilities. WotC is aiming for players and DMs to focus less on having to look up the special table for Turn Undead or the seperate chart of modifiers for Grapple and have all of these things under one similar system. Again, similar does not mean exactly identical as there is room to reflect that a Wizard using a wand is different from a fighter with sword and shield. [/QUOTE]
