Dungeons & Dragons
4th Edition

4th Edition: 1st level (heroic tier)

    Fourth Edition:Because the Fourth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons is ridiculously more powerful than previous editions, it is more like a card game than a fantasy adventure campaign. The levels from the fourth edition are delayed for balance and are to be considered completely optional.

    Fourth Edition:The Fourth Edition completely breaks with Dungeons and Dragons tradition. This is no longer a game about imagination adn creativity, but a combat oriented war game. Everything about the traditional D&D game that involved role playing has been stripped out of the game and combat has become the only factor of importance. Character classes give options similar to fantasy card games and combat is the only focus of the entire game.

    Fourth Edition: Bill Slavicsek, lead designer of the 4th edition of D&D, and Richard Baker, a senior game designer on the 4th edition of D&D, called the new edition of the game "Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition for Dummies" in their first book on the new edition. This is not a game for players who want to play a fantasy role playing game. This is a watered down game for the bear and pretzels set.

    Powers and Features: Level 1: class features; gain 1 feat; train starting skills; gain 2 at-will attack powers; gain 1 encounter attack power; gain 1 daily attack power. [Character Advancement] Player’s Handbook (Arcane, Divine, and Martial Heroes) v.4; pp 29

    Opinion: The Fourth Edition of Dungeons and Dragons is a travesty. I was hoodwinked into buying it, mistakeningly thinking it was an improvement. It is instead a bastardization of the game. The designers admitted that their goal was to make it easier to quickly create new supplements. They completely ignored the needs of real players and view as solely as a cash source to be exploited. Don’t make the mistake I made. Boycott the fourth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Force them to return to version 3.5 or some logical improvement of 3.5.
