I play-tested, wrote for, judged and played 4e for years. It's a great system, but the soul of D&D somehow slipped away into the tactical ruleset. D&D Next brings me back to previous editions while preserving a few nice things from 4e (like at-will spells).

I played a high-level 5E game at Dreamation a few months ago, and although you have more options (because you have more special abilities) it plays just the same as it does at low levels. As you say, the biggest adjustment is the large numbers of hit points that everything seems to have, but that seems to be balanced out by the AC and combat bonuses.Greyhawk Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929743865700766901noreply@blogger.com
