[QUOTE="Deinos, post: 5212948, member: 74998"] This may sound like edition wars... it isn't. I greatly enjoy both running 3e and playing 4e. However, I gotta ask... is it really possible that 4th edition IH stuff will be able to be as enjoyable as 3e? Here's the reason I ask. 4e has epic rules for playable demigods and gods as opponents, 3e doesn't. 3e only had rules for epic play in the same sense becoming a hobo is a retirement plan. So 3e was a game that was about 20 levels long, or less so if you had too few or too many powergamers. So Immortals Handbook comes along, and really turns 3e, a game I had previously abandoned, into a whole new game, one that is quite solid for a very long time. (And not to mention puts malboros on steroids into the game) Now... 4e... already has rules for epic levels, playing as a demigod, and fighting gods (other than "someone uses Mastery of Life and Death on you from 9001 parsecs away. You die). Which, you know, is good, of course. But it does mean IH 4e, therefore, inherently has less to offer its respective edition than IH 3e did. I know I have made it to level 30 in 3rd edition and thinking not much changed other than having to buy all my old feats over again, but has anyone made it to level 30 in 4e and thought his character still had room to grow? of course I'll still BUY such things, but I don't see it having as much of a need as in the prior edition.
