[QUOTE="cbas-10, post: 1159750, member: 14592"] On the serious side, there are very few changes that I would like to see in the game. First of all, regarding high-level characters, the game is scaled so that opponents of lower CR are gonna be easy kills, higher CR will be nearly impossible, and equal CRs will be fought needing (en the end, after all modifiers) about the same roll on the dice as a character and monster 20 levels lower. I think, while characters should obviously progress as they get to be higher level, the characters should have a significantly tougher time with all aspects of the game. It should be MUCH more difficult for a 21st level character to get to 22nd level than it is for a 1st level character to get to 2nd level - not simply take much longer. Yes, house rules can change all this...but that is why I pay the guys and gals at D&D: to write a game for me to play and not have to rewrite my own game around. Second, DO THE FREAKIN RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT [B]BEFORE[/B] PUTTING THE GAME INTO PRODUCTION. Nothing in the realm of gaming is more annoying than hearing, "Oh wait! there is new errata on this rule that I wanna use. I'm sorry if you have a job, life and a wife and don't care to get the up-to-the-minute changes to the game...but this is [I]official[/I], after all." Sheesh...you'd think this is Magic:the Gathering. Next thing you know, we'll see an update in [B]Dragon[/B] telling us that the 3rd through 5th levels of Monk are on the Banned/Restricted lists. When the next edition comes to the stores, I'll make the decision to buy or not to buy at that point. I bought and enjoy 3.5 far more than I had envisioned a few months ago. Part of it came from the fact that I was VERY impressed to see a free download on the Wizards website that updated a lot of 3.0 books to 3.5 edition. One last thing I'd love to see (and this does not require a new addition to the game): is a bit of attention to the hobbyists - not just marketing to a younger audience. Some of us love to use painted minis, scenery, and more. Some of us actually enjoy painting, crafting, etc. That sort of attention would bring a bit of maturity to the game. [/QUOTE]
