Nevermore

Ok, after carefully looking over 4th ed my response was a very calm, rational "Meh." It doesn't impress me much mechanically and at times I feel it insults my intelligence in its level of noob friendliness. The only things in there that really caught my eye were the new Tiefling background and the Warlord.
I don't know, be as derisive as you want; the idea of playing a crazy roman/byzantine-esque warlord attempting to bring the Empire back into existence (literally a wanna be Warlord, not just a class choice) appeals to me. I also love how they made a deal with the devil literally rather than just figuratively by dealing with barbarians.
