This gives D&D focus, 'sexes it up' a bit, makes explicit what was - to some extent - not so, all in all basically spotlighting adventuring with all its inherent danger as the base from which to work. This is smart. And very Iron Heroes. . . <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/ponder.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hmm:" title="Hmmm    :hmm:" data-shortname=":hmm:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Probably balancing the basic classes more than ever before. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Skill Challenges (straight from 3e's Unearthed Arcana, more or less!) Nice to have an option other than just one skill roll, hardwired in there, for some situations. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Defences based off multiple abilities. Well, the better of two, in each case, IIRC. This (or a variant on the same basic idea, actually) is what I did with 3e, funnily enough. So yes, this is an improvement, anyhow (IMO) - each and every ability can do something useful for any character, kinda. More or less. Also. . . </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> More balanced Defences. 'Saves' that don't end up stupidly high and/or stupidly low, just 'cause the system allows that kind o' malarkey. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Less prep time for DMs. I'll take this one on faith. And if it's true, well, that's gotta be a good thing, right? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Something for everyone to do. At any time, I mean. Now, this one can be argued back and forth all kinds of ways, but basically, for systems as 'tight' as 3e and 4e (f'rex) it's a good idea for there to be codified means for PCs to be effective, in at least most situations they might find themselves in. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Page 42. Good idea - again, for such a codified system.</li> </ul>Eh, there's some more stuff I wrote last time this one came around. Dunno where it went. Some thread, somewhere. . .</blockquote>
