While I was in front of the camera, I decided to follow-up on my initial "wait and see" attitude when it came to the new edition of D&D. It's been several game sessions into my new campaign, so here are my initial observations on the topic.

Keep in mind that this is coming from someone who grew up old-school when it comes to role-playing games.

  • The 4ed is good for somethngs but they killed many terms, races and other specialities... for example: What Happened with Aasimar, dwarven/elven/gnome/halfing races? what happened with the Prestige Class Concept? Why did the mutliclass and hybrid class changed the ideas about them? What happened with Crafting and professions? Yes, I'm a rookie/amateur but I saw and read some books and i've some 3.5 and 4ed to compare and have my personal view. 4ed good in many things, 3.5 is a bit better ;)

  • 1st edition AD&D, period. Long live Gygax and Arneson!

  • I am glad that they balanced the classes out a bit, for sake of freedom you can take since that point. Like in AD&D and D&D 3.5 Wizard was so overpowered that for many of things he had to pay with his xp and shitload of gold. Like death of a familiar - you loose like 2k xp and can't summon him for year and one day... creating a wand or potion costs you ass-load of xp hence there was no point in doing alchemy or any real magic crafting. 4th ed lets you to explore bit more the areas left obscure

  • jon stewart?

  • @paulnatcia I always thought it'd be cool if racial special abilities depended on your class.

    Like, ie., if your a halfling rogue your race ability is that you're better at picking locks. Or if you're a halfling barbarian you have the 'fuck yo' critical' ability.

  • My main problem with 4e is that characters can, quite literally, become amazingly godly. I really like playing 4e at lower levels, but 3.5 is awesome any time. I really wish a single goblin could hit me in 4e... Anything with the D20 system is pretty awesome though.

  • FUCK YO CRITICAL!

  • Bipeedal? Come on Spoony.

  • DOVAKIN!!!

  • Did he just say that the Warlord is the 'fluffer'??

  • @unowhatireallysaid CHEERS! 1st Edition then, 1st Edition now, 1st Edition forever!
