Heretic of The Seventh Circle
Oh man 3-10 is like the best levels in 4e.4e pre-essentials. it was my first edition i played that i actually understood (technically i think i played 5e a couple times over discord and in high school before then but i had no idea what i was doing and they never got past session 1 so i don't think that counts) and i'd like to know how the game plays after level 5 since that's as far as we got.
I voted Essentials, but what I mean is 4e as it existed as of its final supplements.
But I’d have to houserule it, I think. Mostly just the numbers, and give types to all the damage boosts. If you reduce the numbers scaling by about half, remove + bonuses from magic items, and take a hatchet to the number of stacking bonus of all kinds, you have a game that is easier to play without a character builder.
