[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7615175, member: 6803664"] A fighter with much of the AEDU system stripped out of it. Around the two year mark WoTC tried to make some changes in order to re-attract the dollars of those of us who'd bailed out for greener pastures. Since every class operating on the same AEDU system was one of the major complaints they changed some of the classes to feel less like you were all playing spellcasters. [SIZE=1](AEDU - call each classes stuff whatever you will, but if I go through the exact same motions as a player to use my "Super Bladestorm Hurl Hack martial daily exploit" as I do to have my wizard cast a "spell", guess what? It kinda feels like I'm casting a spell even though I chose to play a fighter.... Stating this observation about how playing 4e makes you feel is of course like dragging fingernails over a chalkboard to 4e fans. They'll tell you to just imagine it different. But that doesn't change the fact that you still feel your fighter just cast a spell.)[/SIZE] And presumably this also made it easier for new players.... Try 4e if you think it looks interesting. Just remember, it was written by some moron who explicitly tells you that magic arrows don't exist. [/QUOTE]
