I will be running it for my group next week so no actually playtesting as of yet. I will provide my post game feed back when i get to that point. I am excited for the openessJust want to say that I'm really happy and excited with the basic new system, the advantage/disadvantage system (me too I don't want opportunity attacks), and the importance of the abilities on checks and saving throws.Also love backgrounds and themehttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29139099/Highly_optimistic_and_happy_with_the_new_system?post_id=520097603#520097603Just want to say that I'm really happy and excited with the basic new system, the advantage/disadvantage system (me too I don't want opportunity attacks), and the importance of the abilities on checks and saving throws.Also love backgrounds and themeSat, 26 May 2012 12:19:08 -0500At first I misread the healing rules and played it as all healing is done through spending hit dice and you only regained those hit dice to spend again after a full rest.

Pregens all have high con, so good hps, that's all.So a wizard only gains 2 hps/level, not that many.I prefer this to the old 1d4+con modifier at each level because players survive bhttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29139099/Highly_optimistic_and_happy_with_the_new_system?post_id=520097273#520097273Hit points are calculated as (full constitution)+(medium hit dice).
