[QUOTE="Nemesis Destiny, post: 5771844, member: 98255"] Honestly? You know I love 4e as much as you, but I think it could use an overhaul. I'd love to see it cleaned up and polished a bit more. Consolidate classes, and [I][B]especially [/B][/I]feats and powers. Toss out or upgrade bad or trap options, eliminate redundancy, organize things better by power source and keyword, etc. I will agree that some of the underserviced classes need help, but I think the best way to provide that help is to merge them into other, similar classes. Then, they get what they need, and keep bloat to a minimum. DMG3 for Epic Tier should definitely have happened. The fact that it hasn't already means that it likely won't, but I'd like to be surprised. My biggest "worry" about the autumn days of 4e is actually that come the next iteration of D&D its playstyle won't be well represented or accounted for. Given the negativity expressed toward it (by a very vocal minority*), it would be pretty easy for WotC to write it off, while only paying lip-service to the things that make 4e great to us. [size=0]* - by this remark, I'm suggesting that the most vocal complainers make up only a fraction of the folks who do not play 4e in favour of other editions. I'd like to think that most of those who do, and aren't interested, simply don't care. I know this is probably true of the AD&D / OD&D / BECMI / OSR crowds.[/size] [/QUOTE]
