Strange little conundrum, I'm surprised it isn't brought up more, it all started when I wanted to make my anthropomorphic chicken monk NPC.

Total, dig that.

For the record, I disagree with all of that (on many levels), no edition has constrained me to dungeon crawling or epic questing.

See; that's interesting, after DMing a 3rd Ed campaign for 3 years up into high levels, I became frustrated with 3rd Ed's number bloat and "broken' spells, etc, so was really jazzed about 4th Ed, so DMed it for 2 years, and just became disillusioned, started perusing my Basic, 1st, and 2nd Ed...

1) Never! 2) Total, but the armour can exacerbate the damage, metal plates gouging into your clavicle, etc.

Well obviously Weapon and Magic Attacks will be adjusted accordingly. And magic is not level-dependant; a sleep spell is a sleep spell, always useful, as this edition seems to aspire to (keep it up).

So non-level dependant spell-use could go a long way.

I would like to see a return of that in some form, but obviously not the butt-ass broken way it was implemented in 3rd Ed.

With Bounded Accuracy, it's a bit easier to eyeball things, which is what every DM does (well, I do). I find it easy to drop 1st Ed stuff in 5th Ed, which is idyllic as 1st Ed/Basic are my favourite editions. But do not mistake me, 3rd and 4th Ed brought many great things to the table, but...

The 1st Playtest Packet (I think the better one, at this point) can keep me busy for years. Easy to convert stuff from any previous edition.

Yep, by RAW they stand there face-to-face waving their tiny fists at one another. Because they are 4 tiny angry dudes adjacent to 4 other tiny dudes, stalemate.

Sounds pretty groovy so far, no front-loaded-cherry-picking (Fighter 1/Divine Bard 4/Battlesmith 1/Deepwarden 2/Dwarf Paragon 1/Hammer of Moradin 4, etc, rubbish) and spells are no longer dependant on level. Though i do like the 1st/2nd Ed multi-class (fighter/magic-user/thief) from level 1 action.

Some of those 2nd Ed Historical Reference books were, but, yeah, in general D&D is not about historical accuracy, but you can implement it.

Yeesh, what is your problem, why the aggression, you okay? I find it odd that 4 tiny creatures adjacent to 4 tiny creatures can't attack each other and they can't move into the other 4's space, because they are in different "squares, definitely a problem there. Please anyone answer except for...

I think there's more to it than that, not a hint of the other classes; next the Warlord will pop up. Maybe it is best if there are just 4 classes.

I'm not sure, all that extra metal attached to you could cause more damage. But, yeah, AC is AC, let's not try and get in too deep.

I do, fluctuate a few too many levels, and the whole thing goes out of whack, removing the 1/2 level bonus from all character's and monster's Attacks, Defences, and Skills really helps.

Of course, armour isn't really going to help you when getting smacked upside the head with a Buick.

I hope Action Points don't make a comeback, or Milestones. Might as well build in that the characters can take 2 standard actions once an Encounter. I also hope they ditch "Encounter".

I remember making tables like this, when I was 13 (had some great times).
