[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8773986, member: 6987520"] While I agree with much (not all ;) ) of what has been said in response to my OP, particularly... [LIST] [*]Increasing the power of some spells while nerfing other spells. [*]The commonality of spellcasting via classes/subclasses/feats/features. [*]The ease and success of spellcasting in general. [*]The lack of integrating spellcasting with common media/tropes. [/LIST] ...I feel like it is more than that. Perhaps it is just that I am getting older... But not Harry Potter. Love HP and I am finishing reading Prisoner of Azkaban (not my favorite one) for the 4th time (as I go through the series again). I have watched the movies even more. ;) Interesting. I say a lot about house-ruling 5E to make it like something that appeals to me [I]more[/I], but I really like 5E in many ways and have said so numerous times. I've posted several threads about helping balance out martials vs. casters as well. I also recently started the thread on playing 5E without house-rules or homebrew. So, since I don't recognize your handle, or ever recall you commenting on my posts in the past, I am not sure what really prompts you to say this. I really don't know what WotC did as far as this goes when it comes to creating 3E, but the feedback they got would not represent myself or any player I ever played with. (To be clear, I am not saying people might not have felt that way, just something I personally had never seen.) I have it (most of it anyway) and I like some elements of it as well, but I've never felt it feels "right" for me, either. Perhaps I'll take another look... Preferably [I][B]neither[/B][/I]! :) I really don't want, nor did I intend this to become: 1. Low magic setting discussion 2. Nerfing caster discussion 3. Edition "war/comparison" discussion [/QUOTE]
