Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greg K" data-source="post: 4452858" data-attributes="member: 5038">The Good:- Removing most of the non-biological aspects of race and making them feats.- Unified Save Progression- multiclassing: I actually like that multiclassing is more like dabbling. I dislike how in 3e you can just multiclass and grab a whole bunch of abilities without  long periods of downtime and a trainer.- no more XP costs for various thingsThe Bad:- Action Points, Healing Surge (and see ugly +1/2 character level bonus): I like having action points and a way to recover hit points without magic so their inclusion is good.  However, I don't like the mechanics which I consider ugly and prefer the approach of Mutants and Masterminds Hero Points which allows extra actions, healing surges, rerolls with a bonus and more.- Rituals: I prefer UA Incantations.  - Magic: The magic system.  I'm not a fan of Vancian, but I do not consider the new rules any better. Per encounter  just introduces its own share of "wtf?"The Ugly- +1/2 character level bonus (except in the case of the unified saving throw).- no Star Wars condition track- negative hit points expanded (I wish they had done away with it)- hit point recovery- per encounter abilities- many of the cleric, paladin and warlock abilties- the skill system- Milestones- How Daily Items work- Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies (note: I generally wasn't a fan of most 3e PrCs which I felt should have been their own class variants or handled as a new base class, but at least my character could enter them much sooner).- I still have no interest in playing DND above 10th level or so- anything else that I forgot to mention.</blockquote>
