Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viktyr Gehrig" data-source="post: 2518112" data-attributes="member: 9249">Most of what I'd want in 4e is already covered by numerous rule variants, either in replacement PHBs or in Unearthed Arcana-- so I certainly don't feel any pressure to change.Psionics: Generally, I want psionics in the core rules, even if presented as optional. Artificer and Aristocrat as PC options: Rules need to cover these areas better, in my opinion. Non-Monk Martial Arts: Monk needs to be a class in its own right, with its own niche, not simply the ony way for characters to become competent in unarmed combat.Class/Gestalt System:I actually prefer the larger number of base classes, but I'd like each class to be more specific and focused on their role. (This is because I want Gestalt to become standard-- a kind of compromise solution for the point-buy crowd.)More Distinct Classes: Yeah, this needs done. Saw the idea about making Weapon Specialization a Fighter class feature instead of a feat-- consider it yoinked. (Probably include Weapon Focus and Improved Critical-- though I'll maintain WF: Ray as an option for casters.) I've tried making Sorcerors and Wizards more distinct, and more distinction between Clerics and Druids, and so on.Armor as DR: Heh. Preferably in a more elegant, functional form than I've managed to coax out of it. Don't need the complexity of different protection against different types, but I'd like to see some handling of certain weapons being more effective against armored or unarmored targets.Monster Classes and ability development: Someone put forth the idea that more powerful races simply develop in their own time, and gain additional abilities as they level. I like it-- it makes sense to me. (Of course, LA buyoff works, too.)No Randomness during Creation and Levelling: Character creation and development should be a function of choices and selections. Leave randomness for actual play.Other than that, I'm really far more satisfied with 3.5e than my enormous House Rules document would suggest. I'm in no hurry for Fourth Edition, especially since I'm finally beating 3.5 into a near-perfect form.</blockquote>
