The flaws in 3.5e are pretty obvious by now, and the system has accumulated enough baggage that running it feels like a real chore at times. At the same time, the massive clean-up job that was performed on the rules in the move to 3e has made the idiosyncrasies of previous editions (notably Exceptional Strength in AD&D, races-as-classes in BD&D, and decreasing ACs in both) really jarring. So, seeking a simpler play experience by reverting to an earlier edition isn't really an option I would enjoy.Unfortunately, there have been several changes suggested that I hate. There have been a lot that just leave me cold, and there have been precious few (beyond the I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it promises of a better play experience, easier prep, and simplified rules) that I have actually liked... and at least one of those was promptly changed for the worse.I'm still holding out hope that they've just been doing an incredibly poor job selling me on the game, and that it will actually be really good. However, I'm also contemplating the possibility that I have made my last-ever D&D purchase.</blockquote>
