I could plan an encounter and not have to worry too much about what the previous encounter had done to the party.  I could look at their healing surges and estimate how much more they could handle in that day, instead of needing to know number of spells/wands/potions. I'm excluding things tracked on the daily level, because they forced an X encounters per day.  And it took a while to figure out how much I need to put into a single encounter day to make it worth while (not too much to kill them, but enough that burning most dailies wouldn't make it a cake walk). Magic Item Uses were just silly.Saving ThrowsVery simple to track, much better than x rounds, or x minutes.  Could be better though, 55% chance of success made them difficult to stick on someone.  If you want to improve these (and bring back percentile dice), make each spell have a strength.  Ongoing Fire 5 (25%) would mean that you only have 25% chance of saving against it each round.  Damage ones would have a harder save, immobilizes, dazes, etc.. could have a easier to save.  But also if it's less than 55% than you're more likely to have people care about their allies and help remove the effects. Until end of next turn was more of a pain, because it usually didn't last long enough to make a real note of.ONLINE UTILITY!Compendium, Character Builder, they had their ups and downs but were an extremely beneficial resource. There had better be some form of them for 5e.</blockquote>
