Re: [RPG]: 4th Edition Player's Handbook, reviewed by Menchi (4/5)

Quote:
Over the last six years or so of playing third edition, I have seen players who fall into class ruts - they stick to one class and wont touch others. This role system has led to some of these players choosing to try out all the new classes and enjoying each and every one of them.
Of course, the roles has existed in all editions of D&D. It's just that with 4E, they're explicitly spelled out.

For the benefit of those who didn't realize they were there all along, I guess.

So I'm happy for that player of yours, that 4E has enabled him to see the roles for what they are. Personally though, this is nothing new, and I would definitely stay away from the dubious argument "4E enables people to try out all the classes while 3E sticks them in a rut".

Cheers
