Yeah Pretty much. I guess with out everything surging upwards over the levels you couldn't smack down giants, demons, dragons or dieties...

Unfortunately I was the one to say this before drinking the unidentified potion. " There is no way there could be anything bad in a black bottle adorned with skulls..." RIP...

Not bad seems a pretty good extrapolation of dnd to mass combat. Just a couple of questions what about reach weapons eg: pikes vs shorter melee weapons which were a pretty good advantage in such combat. And how does encircle work exactly? can a smaller group encircle a larger group and what...

Too true. I don't mind numbers going up I just want them to have meaning. Plus I think that adding tactical options is more in giving the characters powers or new ways to use powers not just bigger numbers and bigger threats or what have you.

True... But the speed limit doesn't increase just because you got a Porsche.

First of a big thanks to all the people who have responded. I thought that this was something interesting to ponder and discuss so I am glad to have stirred up some lively discourse. Now as for actual increases I must admit that I am for character advancement. But I am more of the idea, as has...

Ok let's start with an assumption. (risky I know but let's do it anyway) I am going to assume that through out dnd there is a trend for numbers to get bigger. Now in 3e it seemed that the numbers moved at different rates so as the game progressed magic types end up gods, monsters got a double...

@Umbran Now that you mention it yeah pretty much. I am looking to try to create something that has all its rules in a very tight package. Stripping down was the wrong choice of words. Yes even d20 for damage. I was thinking maybe giving weapons a damage modifier then depending on how well you...

Actually now that I think about Microlite20 is almost too light. This idea of mine I think is to create something that has some of the... robustness of full on DnD with out being dragged down by a tonne of superfluous things. What I consider superfluous anyway.

Yep! I heard about it yesterday actually. Like I said this is mostly an exercise in imagination and rules fiddling really. Now that I have thought about it for a few days there are other shifts I'd like to make too. I'll have to see what comes. Thanks for the heads up though!

So I have this odd desire to create a super streamlined version of 3.x. I know I am not the first to do so but I have changes I want to make to. This is, as the title states, more of a mental exercise than anything. (my work is boring so thinking about stats and rules keeps me sane!) I don't...

If you don't have it I'd suggest a copy of d20 modern or at least look at the srd for it. For class suggestions maybe grunt for the frontline warrior type, commando for a sneaky rogue like character, medic for healing/buffing charcters and a demolitions/heavy gun class for the mage kind of feel.

I agree with this statement. I enjoy having the ability to choose classes which back up my character ideas best. Sometimes one has got to make due but when the mechanics back you up and there is not a lot of reworking on my part that is something I love. That having been said I probably...

same reason as any other race. Barring huge magical expenditure to feed their population I will go ahead and assume they need land for growing food. They need wheat for all their ales don't they?

Cool concept. I'll restate what has been said before and suggest that the pyrotechnic powers are definitely on the weak side and maybe up the power of Rhythm of the Dance or cut out the -2 to movement. on a side note with the Dance of Serpent's Pleasure why does the power decrease to 2d6 at...

Thanks for the feed back guys! We will see how this plays out. I am trying to make an armored striker class. Sort of a knight errant/musketeer kind of thing. I have seen some other attempts at similar things recently so hopefully I'll have something up about it soon.

How does hopes audacity work? Ardent is from phb3 isn't it?

So I've been thinking about strikers and wondering if an at-will that grants a crit on 19-20. Is doable idea or is there a class that has already set a precedent? It would otherwise be a normal attack 1[w] + stat. But with a better critical range. So, Thoughts?

I think something like FF tactics could certainly be doable with the 4e system. And considering how awesome the old Darksun game was, at least for me, I think a turn based game could have a lot of potential. Perhaps it wouldn't be in the same market as a real time game, but as long as WoTC...

pretty sure its a coincidence as avarice just means greed.
