[QUOTE="Taluron, post: 4121157, member: 4138"] My feelings on skill points are exactly the opposite. One of the reasons my gaming group came back to Dnd with 3ed was skill points. We had stopped playing Dnd at all for several years. We where using other game systems that provide for more choices in skills, etc. Mostly Hero system. The problem is that one fantasy battles in Hero system can take HOURSSS. So can superhero fights but thats a different discussion. The use of skill points allowed us to individualize the characters in an area other than combat. We're on the fench over 4th. Our intention is to get at least the PHB and go through it. But [paraphrasing] our primary DM. "It's gonna have to thrill me a whole lot to get me to change editions AGAIN". The DMs entire campaign multiverse was originally created in 2ed. We switched a 2ed thieves run to 3ed. Its still going on intermittently alongside other 3ed character groups. None of our DM run TSR/WoTC campaign world so the changes to fluff/planes/etc are mostly irrelevant to us. I started out feeling good about 4th but as I see more I like it less. I fully agree that I won't have the full context to go on until I see the finished product so we're waiting to decide. We do like the combining of certain skills. We're already swithcing to Perception and Stealth. But the loss of skill points is likely to be house-ruled no matter which edition we go with. [/QUOTE]
