So, one of my housemates finally helped me to get used to 4e DnD by running a mini-oneshot using random bits from "Keep of the Shadowfell". Played the pregen characters, and me choosing the cleric mostly so I could figure out the differences between 3.5e and 4e. (Having played a surly cleric before...oh Soren, you were so grumpy)
Anyway, I take back a lot of my previous skepticism of 4e, and in fact, kinda like it. It seems much more streamlined now.
Talking with some people later on this week, and I happened to mention that there was a character type I always kinda wanted to play: the character with a seemingly-infinite number of knives and a perpetual cigarette. (Why, yes, I did mash together about 3 different characters there...) Cue another friend suggesting writing a Martial Controller class.
Cue me looking up the phrase on Google and finding posts on the WotC forums that say "you can't have martial controllers! It's impossible!"
I'm sorry, was that a challenge?
Seriously, some people just lack creativity.
