[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4986292, member: 66434"] 4E without modification does have a superhero feel compared to the early (non 3E) editions. It is just an opinion. City of Heroes(A supers MMO) = Striker/Defender/Controller/Leader = 4E roles. I quite agree that 3E casters overshadowed other classes. The problem wasn't being "too magical". You are correct about the lack of restrictions. Getting rid of declared casting prior to intiative, the wide availability of wands and movement during the casting round, powered up the caster beyond what they should have been able to do. Older edition D&D spells were very powerful but tricky and risky to attempt in combat. Getting a spell disrupted and lost isn't fun so it was ditched. As long as any given moment takes at least 10 minutes, you are accurate. The PC's always have as much time as they need because they have narrative control and being time pressured isn't fun. I can only see that as a snooze fest. [/QUOTE]
