D&D 4th Edition

4th Edition is, in essence, 2nd edition's character classes with 3rd edition's combat system -- but both cleaned up and adapted to the MMORPG era. While it may seem annoying and oversimplistic to pigeon-hole character classes in MMORPG terms (e.g. defining anyone who buffs or heals as a "leader") it actually is very helpful in monster descriptions (making the behavior of a monster actually a lot clearer).
