[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8626558, member: 6855114"] I am not edition warring. I said multiple times that 4ed was one of my favorite edition. It seems that stating a weakness and the main reason the edition failed to get the recognition it was due is not appreciated. When I criticise 5ed, I am accused of being an old grognard. When I criticise 1ed, I am a 5ed fan boy. When I criticise 4ed, I am edition warring... At least my criticism of 2ed and 3.xed flies under the radar... As for the combat rounds. It is exactly because I do not do monotype encounters that I do get the 5 to 8 rounds of combat and it is also because I do have 6 to 8 easy to medium encounters per day that I have absolutely no problems with the game. Does 5ed has problems? Of course it has. But class balance is certainly not one, or at least not on the level some people are trying to make it appear to be. Unfortunately, the style intended in the beginning of 5ed is not what the vocals want. I wonder how much it does suit the ones we do not hear about. Those that play without coming to the forums... We might be surprised. [/QUOTE]
