Characters at the starting levels are no longer total weenies, and characters at the higher levels are no longer omnipotent deities.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The fighter and rogue classes are so much better now than they have ever been.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Minions are freakin' brilliant. You can now set up scenarios with the PCs holding the line against dozens of foes, without it being a nightmare to keep track of 'em all.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ritual magic. I have quibbles with some specific rituals, but the overall concept of ritual magic is very solid.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Monster/encounter design. Putting together a fun encounter is both far easier and much more fun than it was in 3E.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I give skill challenges credit for potential. I don't think they've realized their potential yet, however; the system is clunky and hard to use.</li> </ul></blockquote>
