Remember HC, balance is bad. If people wanted to play a game that was fun, they wouldn't be playing D&D.

I wonder if 5e will use hexes?
Of course, if they did that, they'd have to bring back all of the horrible things about 3e.

RPGers want a world where they can role-play. The world is not a fair place, and they like the distinct feel that you get from imbalances rooted in the fantasy tradition.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.Comment

Played 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0. Preferred 3.5 - variety of improvements without the complete dumbing-down of 4.0. Never played earlier versions, but understand that THAC0 made many heads hurt.
Really though, the version doesn't matter - if you have good group and good GM you'll have fun, if not, you won't.Comment

If the only way there is to make the world 'unfair' is power imbalances between the classes (especially from a role-playing point of view - WTF?), then all I'm seeing is lack of imagination.Originally posted by Oncle Boris View PostIndifference is BlissComment

The real reason people prefer the old way is because it's the old way. If 4e rules had been released in the 70s, and right now they came out with 1e rules, people would wonder what the hell was wrong with the new generation of game designers. After 5,000 XP a paladin is level 2, a ranger level 3, and a thief is level 4? Why are the races limited arbitrarily to how many levels they can earn in different classes, and why are some races completely forbidden from certain classes? Do you really get a better role playing experience because halflings are forbidden from becoming clerics, or because gnomes are limited to level 6 as fighters? Should your character's reaction to an NPC be based on some racial preferences table, or should you perhaps role play it? Why can an illusionist use a dagger, dart, or staff, but not a club? Are clubs really advanced weapons to figure out?
1st edition is full of absolutely pointless rules that serve no purpose. No way would I want to swap 4e for the insane hodge-podge of 1st edition.John Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

Is this what religious debates look like to atheists? I guess I need to find an atheist who doesn't play D&D to know for sure.Comment

The kind of people that complain about how rock and roll is dead and kids these days don't have to walk to school anymore and girls dress like hos are the same kind of people who complain about new versions of D&D.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

If Jack Chick has taught us anything, it's that D&D and rejecting Jesus go hand in hand.John Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

That's what I thought, but didn't JM post in here? Maybe he's on Chick's not-Christian list, though. It's a pretty extensive list.Originally posted by Felch View PostComment

It would take work rebalancing the skills, but 4e would be pretty cool with hexes. Some of the things that bother me about it would be fixed (square fireballs for instance). You'd have to do a lot of tweaking though, since a you'd affect fewer hexes than squares with area effects.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostI wonder if 5e will use hexes?

I was making a civ V pun, but on reflection hexes would be pretty sweet.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

No, because the D&D players know it's all time-wasting bull**** that people made up. Religious people seem to think it's real.Originally posted by Elok View PostComment
