4e Pack Lord: Whenever heroes kill one of its allies it can force one of them to hit themselves, it can move multiple allies forwards, grant them extra attacks

5e Pack Lord: Just regular Gnoll but can recharge one ally’s Rampage.

    I had a binder full of moves for my level 8 barbarian.

    If you really enjoyed the nuance of spin in a circle with two one-handed weapons as a distinct Action from `swing one weapon really hard in a circle” it was a great system.

    If you just want to play role playing game with some combat, it was a terrible system

      Actually, it sounds like a great design choice, D&D has been way more focused on combat than regular rpg, and has never been the proper choice for roleplay, politics, horror, investigation story.

      It seems that at least 4th edition was doing combat right
