Makes things vastly more consistent. I was working on an OGL game where I did this, so now I'm using 4e as my base since WotC did it for me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-P" title="Stick out tongue    :-P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-P" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One "BAB" progression: This seriously makes life easier for everyone. It also gets rid of the painful 3e experience of trying to multiclass out of or into a spellcasting class.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Class balance: 'nuff said. People have covered this nicely already.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Non-divine healing: The even further abstraction of hit points opens a lot of interesting doors that 4e is not afraid to walk through.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Friend to DMs everywhere: Simplified encounter design, monster building, NPC building, software aids. Need I go on?</li> </ul>Things I mostly like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rituals: Love the concept, not sure I'm convinced opening them up to all classes was the best move.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Paragon Paths: I like them, but sometimes there just isn't one that fits a specific character. Or what if you just want to be more like your class and not really specialize?</li> </ul></blockquote>
