Now, there are sets of mechanics that go together due to an overall design philosophy, and those can be readily aligned to an edition that was designed that way.But it's entirely possible to like unlimited cantrips and not like martial daily powers, or to dislike damage on a miss but be okay with hit dice. Heck, I'm okay with races having the same speed, but I foam at the mouth about the lack of racial penalties and the human standard.Sure, to some degree we want the rules to reflect the editions we hold most dear. But few people are completely one sided or intractable.</blockquote>
