[QUOTE="Jorunkun, post: 5437168, member: 57929"] Well, opinions on what E6 is or is intended to be may differ. My point is not that the set must be labled "E6" or even include the "feats instead of levels" rules - just that it might be clever if they did indeed cut off class info, spells and all the rest of it at that point, and signal this on the cover of the box. This way, newbies would know what they are getting and veteran gamers interested in E6 would have a reason to buy the set as well. I didn't say (or mean) that. But I think it is fair to say that, on average, the reading ability of 12-to-15-year-olds is less developed than that of adults. And that the current edition of the core rules was written primarily for people already familiar with tabletop role-playing games in general and the 3.5 rules in particular. So a clearer re-statement of the rules with a different target-group in mind would make sense, IMO. Similarly, a "simple English" ruleset would probably also benefit role-players whose native language is not English. Good point, agree. [/QUOTE]
