[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4571762, member: 710"] 4th Edition Critic doesn't have to mean Edition Warrior. ;) People can find every edition of D&D lack luster and still be a 4th Edition critic. Heck, people can even like 4th Edition and be a 4th Edition critic. Sometimes comparing edition makes sense (particularly if you want to understand or classify changes), but sometimes it doesn't (for example, if you want to know if something reads interesting or not. ;) ) Hey, look, a 3E spell written up in 4E edition style (but using 3E mechanics mostly) [sblock] Fireball - Wizard Daily Attack 5 [I]A bead of fire shoots from your open hands and explodes in a fiery blast[/I] Daily - Arcane, Implement, Fire, Verbal, Somatic Standard Action Area Spread 20 ft in Long Range (400 ft + 40 ft per level) Target: All creatures in spread Save: Reflex Failure: 1d6 points of fire damage per level Success: Half damage. --- Entangle - Druid Daily Attack 1 [I]Veins and Grass moves to grab your foes as you stretch out your arms and bid nature to your aid.[/i] Daily - Divine, Implement, Plant, Verbal, Somatic Standard Action Area Spread 40 ft in Long Range (400 ft + 40 ft per level) Target: All creatures in spread Save: Reflex Failure: Creature is entangled (save ends or until escaped) Effect: Target is slowed (save ends or until escaped). A creature that enters the area or starts it turns in it must make a new save against this power. The power lasts 1 minute per level. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
