[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 6326542, member: 63962"] I am a 4e player/dm and I like 5e. I liked 3e as well. And AD&D 2e. And BE[CMI]. Never played 1e. I just started an awesome 4e campaign that I have planned to run up until ~level 10. The only issue I have with it is that it's going to get hard to get time to run 5e. When 4e was released, I was pretty burned out on 3.5. I was tired of the uninspiring high level play and jumped right on 4e and had fun playing it. I kind of burned out on DM-ing, but when I got back to it about 6 months ago, there were so many improvements that 5e just looks like another alternative. I think 4e and 5e could live side by side if they didn't drop the adventure support for 4e, which I believe they have. So far, I like about 90% of what I read. I think the basic rules, released as a PDF is just awesome. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on the PHB where the rest of the classes and feats are. I think basic 5e looks like the best system to introduce new players to since BECMI. At the same time, 5e looks advanced enough to lure the 3e crowd over as well. It's a two-for-one deal! Awesome! :) I love how they have made the stat boosts from race less important with the stat gain rules and the cap of 20. This way race is much less important in the long run and makes it much easier for me to just go with a Dwarf Rogue, even if they don't get a bonus to dex. Looking at the stat generation methods, I noticed you can't buy a stat higher than 15 at level 1. The pre-generated array doesn't have anything above 15 either. If you want anything higher, you have to gamble and roll! Smart move WotC! <3 [/QUOTE]
