[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6205161, member: 2525"] I've played since the 1970s. I learned on Basic edition and AD&D 1e. I've played probably as much as you. I've played plenty of other systems as well. So, while I appreciate you have lots of experience, I do not appreciate the suggestion that my opinion differing from yours means I have not been around in this hobby a long time. My experience tells me that playing with a rule is another thing than reading about the rule. That sometimes, indeed often, the rules we read end up being less or more important to the game than what we thought when we first read the rule. I've expressed this opinion before, and many older players, including some in this thread, have agreed with me that nothing can replace the experience of actually playing the game to see what ends up being more or less important. So, my recommendation, which you can take or leave as you wish, is for you to play the game, and then judge what does and does not work. That is the purpose of the playtest, to play the test rules. Not to simply read them and speculate. [/QUOTE]
