[QUOTE="pming, post: 6804454, member: 45197"] Hiya! Haven't read the whole thread...but here's mine. (1) Feats are too tough and "unbalanced with regards to each other". I hear "Sharpshooter", "Great Weapon Master", "Poleare Master" and "Magic Initiate" as choices [I]all the time[/I]. That right there should tell you that they are 'too powerful'. I'd rather have Feats be "different" not "better" choices for characters. Things that give a bit more intangible 'benefits' over purely mechanical ones. But I'm definitely in the minority on this and I don't allow feats in my game...so....uh...yeah... :) (2) Like feats, Multiclassing. Not enough "campaign considerations" for combo's and whatnot. I also don't like how they work; I don't want "one class at a time", I want "all classes at the same time". I want to be a "Fighter/Magic-User", not a "Fighter [I]and[/I] Magic-User". You gain a level, and choose to up your MU side...well, that last level you apparently learned [I]absolutely nothing[/I] to do with Fighting. This disconnect completely destroys my SoD (Suspension of Disbelief). I wish MC'ing was moe like 1e/2e. But, again, like Feats, MC'ing is OPTIONAL and I don't allow it in my campaign without very specific reasons/allowances. So there's that... (3) "POOF! You're healed." The rules where you sleep and wake up fully healed. Ick. Icky-poo, actually. A core rule this time that totally destroys my SoD. I changed it in my game...the first one I actually played. (4) Production Quality. Full-colour glossy pages can go [I]straight to H-E-L-L!!![/I]. Good gods I get eye strain after five minutes of reading. I have one of my players look up most rules during the game (saves time so I can keep DM'ing the group)...mostly so I don't have to try and figure out what something says. Grrrrr!
