My main point, though, is "These serve mostly to grate on the ears of the GM and confuse new players."<br /><br />I expect 4e-isms dragged back into 3e would probably bother someone who prefers 3e, if they came at the frequency the 3e-isms come into my 4e game.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-17539404150814066522016-10-28T15:28:26.951-04:002016-10-28T15:28:26.951-04:00Eh, I tried 4e..bought all the books as they came ...Eh, I tried 4e..bought all the books as they came out for a couple of years and went back to 3.

GM and one of the other players were familiar with 3rd edition. System was completely new to the other two players.Ronintendohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335678853838217038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-45646738177946923692015-04-04T20:23:23.477-04:002015-04-04T20:23:23.477-04:00It's legit.

It's about as useful of a move as you'd expect (slashing with the sharp tip of a thrusting weapon), but you can do it.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-82276043918655026442015-04-04T20:22:00.070-04:002015-04-04T20:22:00.070-04:00This is only slightly related but...

People will bitch about some "new school" thing that's been around since '83, while praising the <i>Rules Cyclopedia</i> which contains exactly the element they're complaining about.

I gave up on fighting it a long time ago . . . but here's what I actually read or hear when someone throws out that line:<br /><br /><i>"When you released Fourth Edition, I figured there would be enough new stuff that I had better read the books. I didn't do that for Third Edition because . . . reasons. But I'm positive that anything I don't remember is a new Fourth Edition rule, because even though I didn't read Third Edition, I knew it like a pro."</i><br /><br />For every correct identification of a Fourth Edition change, I run into about 50 instances of people who <i>think</i> something that has been around since 1986 or 1988 or 1990 is a change.<br /><br />As the kids say, "LOL!"Sean Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311287023783258493noreply@blogger.com
