But unfortunately that appears to be everything the new system is about. I do miss the many options for making a character from 3e. Fighter and Barbarian are both martial characters, but there is a different feel between the two types. Just like Cleric and Druid.The one thing I lack the most though, is the non-combat stuff. Rituals can handle some of the options wizards had, but you don't have 10 minutes to conjure up a ritual to charm a the guard who's about to arrest you.Combat has been made better, but other things have suffered for that. Not everything is about combat and fighting, but unfortunately it seems to be the policy that the new edition has embraced. In the end I guess the hack'n'slash campaigns will love 4th edition, but other campaigns with less focus on combat and more on other aspects will stick to 3.5.</blockquote>
