But I don't understand why anyone would describe them as "dumbing down". The character build mechanics will be, if anything, more intricate, and the action resolution mechanics definitely so (because of the introduction of per-encounter and per-day abilities for all classes).They are making it easier to be a GM (via "points of light" to lighten the load of world-building, and by changing the monster-build rules so the GM does not have to intereact with the character build mechanics a dozen times per session) but that strikes me as intelligent design rather than dumbing down.</blockquote>
