Message: <blockquote data-quote="RSIxidor" data-source="post: 7975697" data-attributes="member: 6695558">I didn't really play anything before 4th so my list is uh, short.4E monster stat blocks (especially after MM3) and formatting in general for class options was so clear and straightforward. Unfortunately, I think some of that formatting added to the biggest criticisms of the game, that people felt classes felt too samey. I still had a lot of fun with it, though. I absolutely miss playing defenders and I get excited about similar things we've seen in 5E.My favorite thing about 5E is advantage. It's just such a straightforward useful concept for the game, and gets away from annoying levels of math. The class+archetype system is also solid.I have also played Pathfinder a little bit, which I know is largely based on 3.5. I like the skill rank system to a degree and I'd love for the next edition of D&D to have something that combines the simplicity of the 4E/5E skills with the customization options of this system. My biggest issue with the skill rank system (and both 4E and PF math) is how levels factor in. Bounded accuracy is my preference on this.I haven't played yet but have read a lot of the PF2 material. The formatting here is also nice in a way reminiscent of 4E. It also borrows and improves on how multiclassing worked in 4E, using multiclass feats. I really like this method and I've tried a few times to bludgeon the same style of multiclassing into 5E. I think it could work but the inconsistent feat levels for two of the classes throws a bit of a wrench. The action system is also fascinating, but I really like 5Es "movement isn't an action it's just a thing you have," so something that combines those would be neat (maybe two-actions + movement, which is kind of what we have now except that the second action is very limited).</blockquote>
