[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 3991930, member: 54843"] I really like the recalibration of Shadowfell and the Feywild in particular. It just makes sense to me that these planes would be somewhat approachable, if extremely dangerous. Shadowfell makes me think of Tad William's Shadowmarch books, for example, and of course the Feywild is Faerie in its oldest incarnations. A great hero ("heroic" tier) faces terrible perils in either place, and will be lucky to come out alive; a hero of legend ("paragon") might be able to hold his own, and an epic hero can begin to challenge the fae and shadow lords. It's not about making the planes Disneyland; it's about bringing them in line with myth and legend, where most heroes barely tiptoe into the Paragon level. And hey, if it also reduces reliance on magical items and spellcasters, all for the better! If 4e fighters are supposed to be on par with wizards and clerics, that shouldn't mean "unless they go to any other plane, where anyone without access to protective magic will die in under a minute."
