It is a huge step backwards from one of the stronger elements of 4th edition, and adds to my increasing feeling of having been cheated by the switch from 4th edition to 5th.I thought the evolution of D&D was a continual chain of improvement from Basic up until 4th. Then we got Essentials, and my confidence dipped. And now 5th edition is really shaking up my confidence.I want to like this edition for the legitimate efforts at doing interesting things - crossing over D&D with Magic the Gathering, creating the most powerful necromancer-wizard since AD&D's Undead Master Kit. But I can't focus on the things I enjoy when so much of what they do seems to be half-cocked. To be honest, a growing part of me is waiting for the day this team gets canned and we see a 6th Edition launched, because I'm hoping that team will try and go back to some of 4e's innovations.</blockquote>
