[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6224275, member: 2525"] I agree they want to reduce the fiddly bits, but I disagree that everything in this thread qualifies as such. I think some things were dropped for 3e for mechanical reasons which don't exist in 5e. Like for example the requirement in 3e that monsters function by the same mechanics as PCs. Some also was in 3e, just done poorly. For example, spell interruption was there, but a concentration check was so trivially easy that it became meaningless. Followers and retainers were there, but it was so regimented by a feat that it became an on/off thing for just niche character concepts due to the dominance of feats in 3e. Morale was there, but it was buried in the intimidation rules and never really worked great. I think 5e should reconsider some of the things dropped, or done poorly in 3e and 4e, and see if it can make them work again. [/QUOTE]
