4e uses 1-1-1, so no need for your funny math tricks here... ;)

My humble words of advice: 1) DnD is a joint effort. The players and the DM need to be having fun. If you invest too much to your storyline/arc then either you end up pissed the players are ignoring it, or they get pissed they are essentially being railroaded. 2) Your group levels too...

Wel there is a typo somewhere, or a redefinition of the term enhancement. However, since all shields (not sure about bracers though) grant a bonus to both AC and REF, so the question becomes how high do those pluses go, a +5 won't be that bad at epic levels, double or more of that and it would...

I think if we take the dying rules and apply them to "save or die" we might find a happy medium... Make save or die a multiple round thing, something like you get hit, effect "A" goes into effect, fail save 1, effect "B" goes into effect, fail save 3 you die. If you want a more absolute...

You want trauma? Every Crit does 1 point of CON damage as well. Any hit that does more than your current CON does one point of CON damage, stacks with crits. Get to 0 CON, you are dead... Regain 1 point of CON per week naturally... Can make it lowest ability score if you don't want players...

Dunno about hypersmurf, but yeah, I can...

I think most of your answers will be found around June 6th of this year...

I still don't understand the concept of charging for marketting material... Here let me sell you XXXX, the brochure is only $20... :confused: I won' tbe picking up either one, even though I like the majority of what 4e has benn put out there. Simply on principle I won't buy marketting...

I really don't see why they would need to change anything: FTR 5 who then goes WIZ 1 would get wiz HP increase, selection of WIZ 1 powers to choose from (and simply add on to his current list, though perhaps on another sheet so that all Martial powers are on one sheet and arcane on another...

Well most actual combat I've ever seen a party do in one day was 5 minutes, that is 50, 6 second rounds. However, DnD shouldn't be too much "hurry up and wait". But there is quite a bit of action "behind the scenes". Just getting to a combat takes some time. Your "downtime" gets "fleshed...

So helium3, you'd use one of them vs. low Ref, another vs. low Forts, and yet another vs. low AC's? In otherwords you'd use NONE of them every round, but you'd use the "best" one each round depending on the situation? Sounds about right IMHO.

Been a while since played 3.5, won't be giving up Hackmaster though. ;)

Couple of options rolling around: 1) Everyone starts off in a jail cell... 2) Destiny of Kings has always been a favourite campaign starter for me, been about 5 years since we've seen it at the table... 3) "Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Arias...

Not sure I understand your point. If a DM will not allow violent (or even non-violent) intraparty interaction, that is the DM (and party's) choice. However, using the same mechanics to make a PC to make your "main villians" esp if they were of PC races has always been a pretty standard DMing...

Once again I think the limits of predesigned FIRST level PC's get in the way of honest assessment. Let's just make up a few "possible" at will powers for our Warhammer wielding Fighter: 1) ATK v Fort, X+Str Damage, Target is stunned until Fighters next turn 2) ATK v Ref, X+Str Damage...

Let me be the first dissenter. I think your first house rule is great, action points should grant several options, not just another action. Your second rule I don't like at all, it negates the entire "law of averages" that 4e is shooting for and makes combat more swingy. Reverse it to 3.x and...

Problem I see, is why would anyone want to wear heavy armor, epecially chain or scale? Hide +3, 1st level twink can start with a +5 Dex bonus, still carry a shield and be equal to the Plate wearer. Now let's go two attribute increases later and now this Hide wearer is getting an additional...

There won't be enough boobs...

Pretty it much looks like each class has its own "Primary Attribute", which will dictate the majority of the effectiveness in combat for that class. However, all the other abilities are able to be put in any order the player wishes. Thus the charming fighter is now a viable option. Likewise...

Standing behind a tall wall, cover and concealment, but without the chance of being targetted at all... Upturned table I'd treat the same as whatever the largest shield in the game would grant. A shield grants cover, but I don't think you'd find many who would say it provides concealment.
