Also, I want to say, "Foghorn Bloghat" about this whole Poll idea in this regard. (Elaboration would be pointless.)  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Details follow: I played many sessions of 5E Next using PbEM on "Yahoo! Groups" (run by the estimable Dice4Hire in Nagoya, Japan), and we ran PCs ranging from 1st-playtest Pre-Gens from the 1st packet up through 12th-level characters of our own devising, based on the March, 2013 packet -- against a dragon or two in the final fight. The game played OK. (It took weeks to get anything done using PbEM, though.) I've already spent money on 5E Next: I preordered "Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle": and I paid an EN World user to pick it up for me at GenCon and to ship it to me -- from Florida to Oregon, so that's 3,000 miles by post.I still have complaints about 5E Next. I want to express my complaints in the (perhaps vain) hope that WotC will become aware of my concerns and change things for the better (with "better" meaning "more to my liking") before the finished product is actually released. Specifically: (1) I rarely play fighters, though I do have one 4E Essentials Slayer (Greataxe) that I have created and have played a bit; the current Greatweapon debate on this board does interest me, but I'm not taking sides in that thread. (2) I have tried comparing 4E with 5E versions of one Cleric character, and I found that 5E didn't translate backward into 4E very well; however, my 4E Elf Bard might be nearly as good when recast as a 5E character. I'm still thinking about it.None of the provided Poll answers fit well enough for me to choose them.</blockquote>
