[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 3759161, member: 51747"] There's nothing wrong with improvement. Give all the classes something as they go up in level, good. Make all the classes more useful, good. Make all the classes equally and uniquly useful, not for me. What's wrong with overlap? What's wrong with a bard being a generalist but a master of none? What's wrong with simply reinventing the gnome by drawing on other fantasy sources as opposed getting rid of a core race? It sounds like elves are being reimagined. GREAT! Why can't they do that with gnomes? Why are they adding in a Warforged (which is not a generic fantasy race)? They're changing fighters to progressively more useful. GREAT! Why can't they do that with bards? They're making wizards power more evenly spread over the whole class. Eh, ok fine. Why can't they do that within the preexisting system of 9 spell levels and X number of spells per day? Why do they have to scrap several editions of system? Or why don't they at least change it to something more like the psionic system and have a certain number of magic points (to use the Final Fantasy term)? Why do wizards have to be always useful, all the time? Wizards are suppose to be more difficult to play. Your reward for playing something more difficult: a more powerful character. [/QUOTE]
