[QUOTE="Aust Diamondew, post: 5045954, member: 5156"] As a player I think whether one prefers 4e or 3e is a matter of taste. For instance: Its easier to play a 'spell caster' in 4e but harder to play a 'noncaster' than it was in 3e (I think 4e struck the ideal balance). But as DM 4e is far better than 3e. More monsters are interesting and fun to run. It is easier and faster to create new interesting monsters and NPCs. In 4e its easier to create balanced encounters, challenging encounters or deadly encounters (the new etools for DMs make this advantage even greater). High level magic in 4e isn't quite as adventure destroying as it could be in 3e. Even with players getting the vast majority of the new options since 4e's launch, DMing 4e is still more fun and easier with only 2 DMGs and 2 MMs than DMing 3e with its myriad of monster manuals and compendiums. The monster/trap options that exist for a 4e DM are more often interesting than for a 3e DM. [/QUOTE]
