Vorpal Books of Boredom Slaying
I picked the new 4th Edition Rule Books for Dungeons and Dragons last week and have been reading through the Player’s Handbook. Currently I’m mixed on what I’ve read. You can’t multi class till 10th level. A lousy DM might allow a 30th level fighter and significant chance to succeed at picking a lock. A lot skills have been condensed (for good and bad). You can customize character class powers to a decently granular level.
I’ll reserve final judgment until I play, but at this point playing 3.5 Edition with decent house rules might be the better option.
