I finally finished all the careers and tweaked things a bit, and I added some feats and started on the skills and the equipment. Here is the most current version of everything, so please let me know what you think.

I think that's kind of what I am going for here. Even as I tweak it, nothing is going to be an exact fit for every character. But that holds true for basic D&D. I recall one of my players pointing out that the base fighter in 4E is so geared towards melee combat that you need to make a ranger...

I think there could be applications for Inspiration for a con artist, just a different motivation behind its use. I agree that the ability seemed a bit weak so I modified it a bit, but since I already have some powers in other areas that provide similar bonuses I am not worried about it as a...

I was thinking some more about what you said, Psi, and looking over the Charismatic build I had I tried to make some changes. I realized the method and source of the inspiration is not as important as the effect, so I made a version of the original d20 talent as the special ability. I also...

Here is my first draft for the Dedicated (wisdom) core class and the Medic career.

I am using the Negotiator as the general leader and motivator, so that is why I put the inspiration powers in there. I looked at it again, and there are actually two: an at-will and a utility that will have different effects. I could see it working for an officer, but I actually had notes on a...

Yeah, this is a tricky one. I was thinking the increase in ammo would be one drawback, since you will empty your clip sooner, but not everyone will both to keep track of things like that. In our last 4E D&D campaign, I don't think we ever worried about keeping track of arrows or throwing...

Scratch that... I went back to your post early on and see what you meant. I have it in there as an at-will for a career called the Negotiator, which is your expert at diplomacy. That career is Charisma based and has an at-will called "Inspirational Presence," which I have the name for but I...

Not sure what you mean. I don't recall having any inspiration talents listed, but tell me what you mean and maybe I can figure out what you think is missing from it.

I am using a lot of the keywords from Gamma World for attacks, which includes things like Laser and Radiation. For the power sources I am using Martial, Interaction, Tactical, and Technical so far. Agreed on the system and how to handle weapons. The people who like guns can get more specific...

Two more Core and career options done. This one is the Tough Hero with the Bodyguard, and the Smart Hero with the Techie.

I don't have the DMG2, so its good to know that... :^) Ok, cool. I was thinking the same thing about how disposable equipment tends to be in these settings, so that was why I was going with the inherent bonuses. Here is another question. Do you think it is better to go with general categories...

Do you think that inherent bonuses are the way to go for this? I am just thinking of the fact that modern characters typically use the same general equipment such as favored vehicles, guns, etc...

Yeah, I am using the inherent bonus right now. I think some careers will require some form of implement, like a computer hacker, so I still see it being used. I also see having special equipment that has additional traits and special abilities. Like I see cybernetics in a futuristic campaign...

Another one. This is the Charismatic core class and the Con Artist career. This is one I am really unsure about so opinions are appreciated.

Here is another example. This is the Fast core class and the Gunslinger career. The gunslinger takes a lot from the Essentials Rangers for his at-wills because I think they worked great for the concept. I also am not sure of the wording on the Trick Shot utility power, but the goal was to create...

Essentials was really what started me on this whole thing, and in the thing I am working on now it has a lot of influences. Like for non-combat characters, I am using a lot of what they did with stances for Fighters and Rangers. But I think in the current build it is a weird mix of Essentials...

Its greatly appreciated. Things look like they would work in my head, but I've learned over the years that my head is often far off base. Hope you feel better and thanks for the help! If it looks like it is workable and you want the rest, I'll send you the rest of the core classes and what...

Not sure if anyone is still reading this, but another example just in case. Here is the Strong Core class and the Soldier career.

Here is an example of how I am trying to do the Core classes, which are the ones based on a specific attribute. Here is the Strong hero.
