The 4E solution to this is this: you have a move action. You can use it to either: 1) move your base move, provoking AoOs as normal or 2) move one square as a shift, which does NOT provoke AoOs But, if characters can do whatever as a standard action (like, say, cast a spell or use a Manyshot...

Okay, one philosophy I like about 4th Ed is fewer rolls per turn which means shorter turns. But we can't simply limit attacking to one attack per turn because that weakens fighter types compared to spellcasters. It also blurs the differences between standard attacks and full round attacks...

Tried using point by but some of my players are just to muncking to not abuse this and that means casters who relye more one 1 stat are more power. Sunking, I've found that point-buy actually a more trade off between the high costs of fewer specialized stats as opposed to more middle to low...

As someone suggested above, I like the Shields ranging from +1 to +4 AC. I also would suggest that, when fighting defensively or using the full defense action, the base shield bonus to AC doubles. Base here just means the enhancement of an magic shield doesn't double, so a +2 Heavy shield goes...

Spellpoints with Metamagics, Cast-on-the-Fly (CotF) If using additional slots (rather than high level slots) to power metamagics is the direction, I would want to avoid anyhting more than another slot of that level. If it gets too number-crunching about amount of spell slots saced, this lends...

DC scales, Pathfinder & swift action for -20% Rather than Hawken's idea of Spellcraft DCs based off of armor Tiers (light, medium, heavy), I'd vote for a system where the DCs are directly based off the arcane spell failure percentage. A high DC scale could be % as a DC (so 25% arcane spell...
