Um.. I think you read the majority of my reply wrong. ???

Ah.. No. No thanks. I don't like level-building videogames. I play consol RPGs like an interactive movie/novel. Cheat to minimize random non-plot combat and not die. What I'd like is.. Well, an online town or tavern. To hell with anything outside the city walls and I don't want to have to...

Technicaly speaking, Eladrin are High and Grey Elves (and I would say from their origins and visual characteristics, Ghost Elves), while Elves are Sylvan/Wood and Wild Elves, and of course Drow are Drow/Dark Elves.

Not even allow subrace feats?

Oh I haaaave to call bull- on that... The multiclass rules in 4E are an agrivating waste of feats. Trade power for power? Fine. But you have to blow 3 additional feats (all during the heroic tier even) and any paragon path features just to get the option to trade out an At-Will. And trust to...

Edit: ... and it's not even double- or triple-post, but rather progressively more of my full post with each one.. usually the preeceeding cutting off in the middle of sentences.

Edit: I'm getting glitches more often today...

I didn't say anything about separating the flavor from the rules. I wanted to separate the classes from the ROLES. Still do. I think that way is through powers. Unfortunately, it's giganticaly doubtful they'll ever do it.

I've never been of the opinion that flying was an unbalancing racial feature. It's doesn't help the rest of the party circumvent obsticals, and you have to be careful to use it in battle unless you can hover, and make sure you're not airborn when you're suddenly too wounded to fly. So.. Yeah...

I think full write-ups would be too much, yeah. But feating the subraces was just fine. I only wish they'd also give us the more generic "Greyhawk" versions now. Well.. Aquatic Elves or Winged Elves might need separate write-ups if they returned to the game. Averiel is still a nice sounding...

I think any given class should have power selections that could support at least three different role "builds". And they shouldn't be locked int specializing in one of those three either. I think it's starting to become clear that the powers are the real problem. Not the power system, but the...

I tried out playing a unicorn in 3E. It worked in wilderness and dungeon play, but wound up a big obstical in towns when most of the party would enter buildings and such. Plus the matter of not being able to handle his own gear and having to rely on other party members. I just had to let him...

Man I felt let down with those Dhampyr feats.. That was briefly exciting to see and then nope. But that's a whole different topic. Back closer to the topic, I know I'm in the minority on this, but I also think half-races should be handled with feats, not as full racial write-ups, just like...

Edit: strange partial double-post glitch..

See, THAT is what several of us are trying to get at. We want to be able to play the shtick/trappings/tropes that we find more interesting, with the combat role we would rather play effective as. Maybe he wants to be a big greatsword-weilding trained fighter who dishes it out rather than trying...

I like how the 4E Forgotten Realms book handled the subraces. Just racial feats, for the mechanics. We all know the appearances and cultures by now for the tried and true, and if anyone wants to designe their own campaign's subraces, it's easy to provide the fluff you want. You can even use the...

I know we'll likely get Hengeyokai back eventually.. (whenever they finaly do some oriental stuff..) Hengeyokai were a PC race in 1E, 2E, and 3E, after all. I would also like to see the return of Rakastas, Lupins, Tortles, Hutaakans, Phanatons, Actaeons, and Kercpa! And... A rabbit race...

Yes. I forgot about the High Crit property. That would probably be better than using the d12. Hit bonus up but rang of accuracy down is also more realistic. I was thinking more along the lines of range of range propelled rather than accuracy before, which wasn't right.

Oh, hmm.. In that case, I think I'm out. I was hoping for more of a compromise or way to reverse the continuing trend a bit.

I don't think the original poster ment to get rid of balance. I think they ment to get rid of the problem created by balance.
