[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5292288, member: 59057"] If they did that, everyone would cry out: foul, you promised that this edition would last longer. Why did noone care about balance back in the last milennium? Because there was no internet. Every group played DnD for oneself. Everyone expected houserules at a table. Switching groups was a pain, as you had to learn the game again and again. Which books do you allow? All but skills and powers, as skills and powers is only for powergamers. But we use the psionics rules in it, becasue they are omplemented better. Do you use spells and magic? No, but you still gain bonus spells as a mage. It is just fair. I don´t see why updates are considered worse than houserules. A way to make the system work more fluently. If you don´t agree with a change, don´t use it. If you use character builder, its a bit more problematic, but still manageable. Live with it, wizard tried to give as a sufficiently well balanced rules system. We all see some problems. Maybe a clean new start with 4.5 or 5e was a good solution. But on the other hand, patching the current rules is not the worst idea, since they have built a framework where it is possible. Dismissing all of it would be terrible from a business point of view. And with such a move, they would lose a lot of their customer base. [/QUOTE]
