[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5458319, member: 2012"] First, let me say that I was a huge fan of character kits in 2e. I collected all of the Complete Handbooks and loved almost all of them. I find that 4e character themes are very similar but with a more balanced design philosophy. I'm a bit disappointed that WotC has canned the book that was going to give us more themes, yet it leaves the idea of new themes wide open for the fans to create. Therefore, my plan is to try to convert some of my favorite 2e kits into 4e themes. Note that I am hoping to get some help and/feedback from everyone since I'm a bit of a newb when it come to designing stuff for 4e. All help will be appreciated and if another EN Worlder want to run with an idea, then I say do it! First on my list are two of my favorite kits -- the blade kit for the bard and the stalker kit for the ranger. [B]Note:[/B] I have the 2e core rules/expansion CDs so I have access to most of the 2e Complete books. [B]Bard Kits[/B] Blade [COLOR="Red"](in progress)[/COLOR] Herald Skald True Bard [B]Druid Kits[/B] Outlaw Savage Wanderer [B]Fighter Kits[/B] Barbarian Beast-Rider Myrmidon [B]Paladin Kits[/B] Inquisitor Skyrider Wyrmslayer [B]Priest Kits[/B] Amazon Priestess Fighting-Monk [B]Ranger Kits[/B] Justifier Stalker [B]Thief Kits[/B] Buccaneer Swashbuckler [B]Wizard Kits[/B] Patrician Witch [/QUOTE]
