[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 210187, member: 1122"] Needless to say D&D 3ed is a huge success. When first released critics claimed that the system wasn't really new at all. It only featured good rules that had appeared in other games before d20. However, now I think it's safe to say that d20 has revolutionized the role-playing hobby. The thing d20 has brought us that is [i]new[/i] is balance. It has brought us a system that has a stong integrity from low-levels and up. It's an amazing engine. The weakness of the system in my opinion is a lack of symbolism. Your character is a product of race, class, religion and alignment. In earlier versions your character's social status, background and age was important too but not anymore. You count your levels but earlier you had a title to go with it. I feel more could have been done in this department. In the future I hope we will get books on role-playing, symbolism and background rather than dungeons, prestige classes and feats. [/QUOTE]
