E6: The Game Inside D&D

[Ry]

GSL being what it is (revocable) I can't see myself doing a 4e version of E6.

I might do an OGL version that's a "complete game" - but I'm even more likely to do another rpg whole-cloth. If I do a traditional RPG, I'll put it in the public domain.

E6 is pretty simple in concept and execution (partially because I don't use capstone feats or the other E6 specific feats). I just need to figure out what is the best level at which to stop gaining them and switch over to feats.

If you had to take the below chart for 3rd edition and update it to 4th edition what levels fit for each term?

Levels 1-5: Gritty fantasy
Levels 6-10: Heroic fantasy
Levels 11-15: Wuxia
Levels 16-20: Superheroes

Level 1-10 Heroic
Level 11-20 Paragon
Level 21-30 Epic






Sorry...

Welcome back, Ryan!

First of all, E6 is the best houserule I have ever used. Easily.

Second, you are probably right about 4E and the GSL. Which makes me very sad.

Seeing as the dead would be raised by level 8 and there's limited teleport... but the kind of "1 level of a prestige class" benefits would be at level 12. The math is just plain different. Guessing where to start would be a shot in the dark, and I'd have to play a lot of 4e to be able to say how it really works. That's not tremendously likely because I'm playing non-traditional systems these days.

(PS: I'm only sort-of back - "Is there going to be a 4e E6?" was a question from last year so I felt like you guys deserved an answer. I'm wary of wading into edition vs. edition.)

Thanks for all you have done so far, Ryan. Also, thanks for pointing out a particularly interesting indie game that I mightn't have come across otherwise. It was in a thread a while back. Anyway, cheers.

Looking forward to seeing what else you might come up with at any stage.

Thanks for helping me frame the question for further investigation. That's why you're a professional designer and I work on the business side.

PS: A really big thanks for inventing E6 and polishing it so nicely for FREE. Your kindness shouldn't be forgotten.

Admins, could you move this thread over to the 3rd edition forums?
I think that's where it belongs ...

Anyone have experience of doing E6 psionics?
