[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6332155, member: 996"] It has room to appeal to classic D&Ders, causal 3e & 4e fans, and indie types. If you're dead-set against non-magical healing or targeting REF/FORT/WILL instead of forcing saves (the two clearest 4e-isms in 13A), you can reject it out of hand as some sort of 0-tollerance policy, but it strikes me as an over-reaction. OTOH, I'm very close to rejecting 13A based on the lack of consistency and balance in class design (and, really, even finding any fun or interest in any of the classes - so far I've played three times, and each time the class I tried was disappointing) - though, I do find it more appealing from the DM side of the screen (good handling of monsters, combat, and nifty indie/storytelling tricks like icons). That and the possibility that I might eventually find a class worth playing - maybe in 13TWs - keep it on my 'maybe' list. Of course, 5e isn't off my list just yet, either (I figure I have to see the Advanced game before giving up on it entirely, because, no matter how bad Basic or Standard may look, Advanced just might change it radically), and I could always go back to 3.5 or even try Pathfinder again (if 5e turns out /that bad/ and 4e disappears) - or go in the opposite direction and do FATE. But, the one thing I hold out absolutely no hope for is a 4.75 -it'd just be too easy for WotC to block. It'll likely never happen - if it does, WotC (or Hasbro) will pull the litigation trigger.
