Then again, I'm a playtester and I can't comment on things that aren't public... but it sure doesn't sound like what was shared publicly. Even if it was... a lot of gamers like bonuses, like tactical play, etc. I guess I go back to the "very bad form" and leave it at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569613471183362572.post-64545727428139592752012-04-30T15:26:42.489-04:002012-04-30T15:26:42.489-04:00Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but...Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but I'm playtesting too. I can't see where all the modifiers are, myself, and this is pretty close to what I've always wanted in D&D. For a sense of my tastes I'm a big fan of AD&D1E, S&W and really looking forward to Blood & Treasure. I pretty much walked away from 3.X do to complexity and 4E due to feeling like I was playing a wargame.<br /><br />There are some changes to where modifiers are applied, but I wouldn't lump them as being anywhere near as complex as 3.X or 4E.Cross Planeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258583245202567276noreply@blogger.com
