[QUOTE="DerekSTheRed, post: 4266688, member: 55770"] I posted on the WotC boards awhile back about how similar the core PoL setting is to Birthright. 4E will be the best edition for Birthright if only they would republish it (crosses fingers). I plan on using Eberron's dragonmarks as an example of blood powers. It will probably require a feat to get access to them. They will be the equivalent of 4E powers but with a different power source and PCs can choose them instead of their class powers. Re: races since Birthright was never fully developed, there's plenty space to retcon the new ones. For instance, the southern continent of Aduria could be where Tieflings and Dragonborn have been all this time, but none on the main continent of Andurias knows about them. The only problem I'm having is fitting in the Elf/Eladrin split. Other campaign settings had both High/Grey/Wood elves but BR only had the Sidhe. Although the fact that elves can't be clerics isn't that big a deal now. Just assume their leaders are warlords instead. Realm spells would simply be another set of rituals wizards and clerics would have to learn. The forests of Cerillia were always described as magical places where one can imagine portals to the Feywild exist. The Shadow world to Shadowfell is already there. Oh and BR has no gnomes so that fits well. Halflings will get a choice between their luck reroll or the ability to activate a portal to the Shadow world. I've been planning on running a 4E BR game for my home group when we finish our current one. It won't be for a while though, so there's time for WotC to publish other supplements which I can mine for ideas. I've already started collecting old BR material via Ebay and other places. Should be a great campaign. Derek [/QUOTE]
