[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 3661823, member: 1457"] [list] [*] AC should include the defender's BAB. Attacking Bob the peasant (wearing leather armor) and hitting Johan the Legendary Duelist (wearing leather armor) should be a different experience. [*] Cool abilities should be "per encounter", not "per day". This includes spells. [*] Spells should be more like the Warlock's invocations, and less like a mail-order catalog. Actually, I'd be delighted if they were more like Harry Potter spells: more like skills. Whatever the new iteration, the current spell system needs to go. [*] HP/Damage should be more like the Saga system. [*] Classes need to be streamlined/consolidated. D&D 3.5's two dozen base classes is ridiculous. There should just be divided by role: Melee guy, archer guy, magic blaster guy, magic support guy. No hybrid classes. [/list] Whatever 4E is, it should be significantly different from the current game. D&D 3.75 would be a huge mistake, and no one would buy it. [/QUOTE]
