For me the cardinal sin of rules, even balanced rules, is slowing the game down.Yes, 1e 2e was an imbalanced mess. I'm hoping D&D Next delivers consistency while maintaining the simplicity and pace of play.I don't think there's anything good you can say about 3e Grappling. It was rules abyss that never once resulted in something fun or exciting at the table.I am hoping for the very same thing. But they have stated that simplicity is of tantamount importance in this edition, if you are wanting highly detailed rules for various combat maneuvers, they may not materialize.</blockquote>
