I got some preview material that I've been reading (6 sample PCs, 14 pages of monsters, and an adventure) the last few days, and 4e looks promising. Everyone has abilities that can be used at-will, once per encounter, or once per day. From the wizards with his Sleep Spell, to the Ranger that can fire two arrows at two different targets for tons of damage, to the Kobold Wyrmpriest with Fire Breath. Skills are a lot easier to manage (there's only 16 of them now). Rather than having to remember your AC when suprised, when a ghost attaks, when stepping on caltrops, or when blind, you either grant you opponent a +2 to hit you, or they attack your Reflex defence (more on Defences later).
If anyone is interested, PM me and I can email you the pdfs.
