However:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm not very keen on the Cleric/Wizard implementation, it feels way too symmetrical, and I was liking that Clerics had different proficiencies acording to their Domain. I'm fine with they making it simpler for beginners (it makes more sense to abegginer to pick a deity). But they didn't had to make them that plain. (And they are leaving behind the "Cleric of a cause" one type of cleric I liked too much)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wizard traditions, I'm not a fan of the recharge spell. However I do like the spell reduction, there is still hope that sorcerers will be way simpler, but more potent on return (I think that a sorcerer that tops at 4 spells per level, and access to finesseable weapons with no at wills, recharge or ritual casting could balance with the wizard). Just hope they aren't thinking of using traditions to give us the sorcerer and warlock, because that is a big no.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They haven't really revised the weapons table (and they should)  Heavy and Finesse ought to be properties, not categories.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I feel more and more that we won't get to see any way to get additional proficiencies (and that is disheartening). The silence on what proficiency means still continues.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The aforementioned check on monster math</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Specialties look very balanced. But now have a very cold and clinical feel to them. So much for them meaning something other than a group of feats I guess</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I like that they have finally caught on that a skill is not worth a full feat, while I still feel the price isn't right (to me it ought to be 3 skills by feat) they are getitng better. Now if there was just a way to turn that skill increase into a new skill trainning (Even if it is just a +2 or +1, getting new skills as you advance is important), because otherwise all chances of learning new skills are gone if the DM choses to forgo Specialties altogether.</li> </ul></blockquote>
