[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5707130, member: 22424"] Fortunately, a "4e retro-clone" is possible under the [i]OGL[/i]. It's just that cloning a 'living' system would be a major risk, because if you get it wrong WotC will (rightly) hammer you. But if they move on to 5e, they probably won't care so much. As noted be others, no he didn't. He's been misrepresented in this matter. The Book of Vile Darkness was certainly a big disappointment. That said, I think that's the nature of the beast - a company like WotC simply can't take the gloves off enough to do justice to that topic. I was under the impression that the Wizard remains the single most-supported class in 4e? So Monte isn't exactly alone. The mismatch in power between casters and non-casters in pre-3e is a feature of the rules as a whole - even in Core Rules Only play, the casters rule the roost after the first few levels. [/QUOTE]
