D&D 4E How To Clone 4E Using 5E Rules

While the fact 4e isn't OGL means it can't be cloned the way PF cloned 3.5, game mechanics like defenses other than AC aren't an impediment: 13A uses them, for one instance.

Yep, folks often go further out of their way than needed to avoid copying mechanics. On a different note, I’d rather keep AC (and all 6 stats), and possibly shift it to a bonus that you add to a defense when appropriate.
