[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 5795911, member: 60075"] [SIZE=3]I'm wondering what should encourage me to play 5E instead of 4E. A lot of the stuff that's mentioned in the transcript are things our group never found problematic - even if we used the term "arcane power [source]" at the table (which we don't), that'd hardly be a deal breaker - and other stuff has me scratching my head as to whether, even Monte apart, the others really have played much of 4th edition. The separation and balance of combat and out-of-combat magic is executed so well (even an illiterate barbarian PC of mine could cast rituals, haha!), the 4E bard already illustrates a lot what they're talking about, so I'm mildly curious how these promises are filled in the eventual design. And oh, Bruce Cordell saying his favourite class evarr is the starpact warlock [I]without mentionining that he bloody wrote it himself[/I]? That as good as makes him the David Brent* of the D&D World.[SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE] *[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6ePYe3HodM[/ame] [SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/size] [/QUOTE]
