My players picked up 4e a lot quicker than they picked up 5e, which has separate mechanics for each class rather than a standardized system.I understand if people didn't like 4e. What I don't understand is how anyone can say 4e is harder to DM than 5e. They are night and day to me: 4e is so much easier.</blockquote>
