[QUOTE="Razz, post: 2514616, member: 3014"] Better handling of epic levels can be presented in a 3.5 supplement (hence the call for "Complete Epic" book that a lot of people have been wishing for, that'd be some help). Better monster creation system? They ran one in a Dragon article a long time ago, have guidelines in Monster Manual 3.5, and have more guidelines in Savage Species. What more guidance do you need? That's what making monsters is mainly about. Not a hardcore system that can perfectly and mathematically make the best creature, more like a "do-it-yourself, but here's some guidelines". Better guidelines for running high level campaigns, I agree. But that also can be accomplished with my above response, they just need to release another epic-level product to supplement the ELH. Luckily, they are releasing Power of Faerun for running high level games in FR, maybe a generic product isn't too far down the line. Improvements to the game can be made through the following: more products, more house rules, good use of Unearthed Arcana, and a possible Unearthed Arcana II. I really don't see what else needs to be improved, mechanically speaking. The game will never be perfect, that's impossible. 4E wouldn't be an improvement. It would just be a repeat of all the other editions, with people crying out "error here, this is broken here, you didn't give us enough of this here". [/QUOTE]
