[QUOTE="Chaos Trip Studios, post: 5762468, member: 6668615"] For me, luving 4e is an at-will power. The 4e love flows. Great game and it FEELS like what a D&D game should feel like. This is just my personal experience with gaming but I started out with Vampire, and I guess I was spoiled by a game system that actually made sense. When a buddy coaxed me into trying 2e, I went along but WOW, that game sucked. Seriously, the TSR version of the rules were just stupid. I searched desperately for a fantasy game that was less flawed. I even stopped so low as to buy Forge: Out of Chaos. Finally we settled for Palladium Fantasy, which is a good game. But really? At what point does a Palladium product become prefered for its sensible and coherent rules? Thank the RPG gods for 3rd edition (including all alternative d20 products). That was definately a step in the right direction. Many years of enjoyable gaming later, d20 still stands up as one of the better rules systems. 4E, however, is an entirely different monster. As a player, I'm down for whatever. As a DM, its 4E or nothing. I can do whatever I want with an adventure and it doesn't require 12 hours of prep time for a 3 hour dungeon. As an aside, what other version of D&D lets you play a 1st level wizard who isn't completely useless? "I know magic, I can do up to three points of damage with my [I]ray of frost!"[/I] (sound of rock being throw ) "Ow!" (sound of dead wizard hitting ground) Alas, the poor 1st level wizard. He was so so sad, so weak The barbarian pushed him around The rogue stole his loot Even the monk made fun of his robe But most of all the fighter laughed at him Then 4th Edition came out, and it like "What's good now, b!tch?"
