I've tried out 4E for a bit. I like how they made character creation and battle much simpler for beginning players, but I don't like how they made every class practically identical to any other. Characters don't feel unique anymore which kills the RP for me, especially with the skill change =\ |
Well, tonight; two of my players have become multi-class. Rogue/Ranger and Wizard/Warlock. You can still RP them, you just need to be willing to break rules. 4e is a good system, it really is. I just think it's all about how you tailor it. I do miss how open 3.5 was though. My blood magus was AWESOME.. I loved porting through people and making them explode. Hell, i'd go back to 3.5, if only to play something ridiculous and off the wall (Dread Necromancer summoning Chocolate Golems....)
