tombowings, The basic concept is that I am trying to bring back Racial Classes (which can be found in Unearthed Arcana as well as in the WoW Core Book) in 4e without causing them to be multiclassing. To do this I am creating a rules variant of the Paragon Paths. These Racial Aspects can be...

So, I just thought of this. The opening fluff is done but the actual in-game rules still need to be worked on. I was thinking of using the Racial Paragon Classes in Unearthed Arcana. What do you guys thing. If any of you find this to your liking and feel like contributing, then feel free. :)...

Mattdm, While your post is somewhat funny, it is also something that I would never do in an actual game. If a player has good reason for wanting something - and I don't mean the blanket it would be fun or cool, but a good in-game reason - then I will more than likely allow it. I think its...

mattdm, Its a magical culture so no, in general, I do not have a problem with Eladrin having access to high powered magic. To me they would have the prerequisite Eladrin and be considered Elven High Magic. See, the prerequisites are maintained. But I do have a problem with a non-wizard...

fuzzlewump, Well, actually, I do see it that way (that everybody uses rituals). To me low-level rituals are kinda like low magic. They are ceremonies, hedge magic, the lore of wise ones, etc. They are used by small towns to hold back enemies and threats and stuff like that. Its the higher...

Now this, this I like. Because why you are gaining options you are not loosing anything. And it allows for you to switch your direct choice each encounter. I like this, I like it very much. I would personally allow the feat to be taken multiple times, each time allowing for an addition of a new...

Well, its like the situation in previous editions with multiclassing. Not all players multiclassed just because they could. And not all players will multiclass in the new system just because they can. And really, so what if they did. What is really the big deal if you are a 20th level Wizard...

I must tell you I love your idea of creating a social, skill challenge using rules equivalent to normal combat encounters. I think it makes sense and allows rules to cover both the physical attacks and the social attacks. Personally, I would love to see it so that this is equal in terms of...

The one feat allowing access to all works right now, but I forsee a time when their will be dozens of feat giving access to subgroups of Rituals. To me the ritual aspect of 4e has so much potential. Take a feat like this: Ritual Artisan Prerequisite: something Benefit: Your understandings of...

Yeah, I'm not doing any of my suggesstions for balance, its all for fluff and theme. As to your second point, my thoughts on it change depending on what setting I am thinking about. What I mean is that in some settings one need to have magical capabilities before they can create magical items...

Very very interesting. Very cool and very nice, I like. Its a great setting idea chocked full of possibilities and campaign goodness. But more than that it shows how others might take the assumptions buried in 4e and make their own, usable by themselves and fitting all that they need. So that...

I love the ritual system, and thing that it is a great addition to the game with all its possibilities for future expansion. I also like the fact that it can be used by anybody, which provides of a sense of mystical-ness of the world which I like. But I also do not like that it can be used by...

Draz, I like multi classing. And I think through these methods you cannot get near anything to what you could have gotten in previous additions, but its still better and more worthy then what they provide in the core rules. To be honest with you, I dislike the method that they have in the...

Very interesting, I like. I think multiclassing through feat selection is the way to go so I like your method of action.

I like the idea of multiclass feats and really don't have a problem with it. I do have a problem with the idea that I need to give up both a feat and my normal power to gain another type of power. I think that is a little to much as I expect to just give up a feat to gain soemthing else. I mean...
