[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 4275693, member: 63962"] Its a bit funny that you (the thread starter) only mentions what is left out, while skipping what is added (Dragonborn, Eladrin, Tiefling, Warlock)? Each class takes a lot more space now than before - except the full casters that take less space. Spells - eh I mean powers - are much shorter in description than earlier and more to the point. You have a bit fewer of them, which makes it possible to actually have character sheets with all your spells on them, instead of rifling through the PHB and 132 splat books for the definition of spell x. I mean power x. I agree that there are actually too few choices you have when selecting powers. For instance the cleric has powers that are either wisdom or strength based.
