As long as it stays on track, I'll probably get it.migohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594788767713408638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-32611212562327353622012-05-25T01:19:13.416-05:002012-05-25T01:19:13.416-05:00I've also liked a lot about what I've read...I've also liked a lot about what I've read. But I also realized that I'm a bit 'full' of d&d right now, I forcedly pushed my 4E campaign to finish even if I started to dislike the system and need a bit pause from D&D gm'ing. I hope some of my friends decides to run playtests, I'd love to play!<br /><br />I'm a bit concerned about amount of special abilities though. They aren't bad at low levels (especially if focus is paid to organization) but I really hope that character improvement focuses on improving starting abilities and making them more versatile rather than giving new ones.<br /><br />Another thing that sticks to my eye is what I was already concerned of when hearing about dropping 'minions' off. I'm afraid there will be low damage attacks even at higher levels that will leave you with swarms of orcs with just a few hit points left. But I may well be wrong, perhaps it's already been thought of.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13776425544106069589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-74838075908406783642012-05-24T23:07:45.030-05:002012-05-24T23:07:45.030-05:00So far I like what I'm reading.
