[QUOTE="Ragmon, post: 6362197, member: 99604"] What I dislike: [LIST] [*]The order of the chapters: [LIST] [*]I think it would make more sense to place the backgrounds before classes. Due to the fact that with backgrounds you get fixed skills while with classes you choose. [*]The equipment layout should be a bit more separated, its hard to see where one type of equipment starts and the other begins. [*]Feats and skills should be right after classes. [*]What I'm saying is the books layout should be more like the 3.5 PHB, for the order of chapters. [/LIST] [*]That it is Faerun centric, Greyhawk was a nice and simple default setting. Oh-well. [*]The new thiefling, I preferred the old one from 3.5 people could customize their look and origins. These new ones from 4e look silly and are only here so people have a default warlock race. [*]They could have done so much more with Inspirations. This way people can farm Inspiration before a large event, stack up on inspiration and use it when needed. [*]Lack of enveloping rules, for instance: [LIST] [*]Rules for armor AC. - Leather armor - 11 + dex, WHY CAN'T it be 10 + 1 (armor) + dex. This way you can explain un-armored and armored states in the same sentence. Just feels stupid to me. [*]Proficiency bonus, just create a table before the classes section, and in the table insert - Level - Proficiency bonus - EXP needed for level. This way you don't have to copy paste the same info for every class. [/LIST] [*]The fact that we still have an alignment system or even an option for one. [*]Lack of weapon diversity and special abilities. [*]The barbarians illustration is horrendious and I would send back the PHB for a complete reprint just for that. [/LIST] Likes: [LIST] [*]I like that the races are on an even playing field, unlike in 3.5 where the half-orc received more penalties to stats then bonuses. Half-elfs sucked. While the Dwarfs, Elfs, Gnomes and Halflings received alot of racial bonuses. [*]Nicer combat mechanics. [*]Magic items are rare and feel unique. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
