Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 7615982" data-attributes="member: 4348">So I'm back, but only for a short while and then off again for a while.  I've written up about 60 pages worth, but need a place to put the document.If for nothing else so people can d/l it and view it and talk their minds about it.  I'll post much of what I've done, or at least some samples on it. Before beginning I would like to note that there are MANY clones that are not exactly like the version they are cloning.  Some have ascending BAB and other items when the version they cloned didn't have anything like it.  Others are more drastic.Due to obvious reasons, there are many things that may NOT be exactly the same, though anyone familiar with 4e should immediately recognize the game.One of the things that has come up is that there is a LOT of work that has to be done.  My original idea was to merge things from Essentials, PHB1 and PHB2 into one document.  As this is a free work that I'm not getting paid to do...and I have limited time, this is looking less and less likely.  I have all the races at this point, but as I've been doing the Cleric...IT's a LOT OF WORK.So, I think I'm going to have a poll of which classes people want most.  I'm leaning to doing the full treatment for the Cleric, Fighter, Rogue and probably the Wizard.  Cleric and Rogue probably had the biggest impact on their abilities with Essentials in my opinion (Cleric went from MAD to SAD, and to a degree, same with the Rogue).  Other classes may be cut entirely, or I'm thinking of maybe doing something more limited where I don't include essentials or even cut down to listing a class by only two powers...or even worse...for a real quick and dirty...only one power per level for some of the least wanted classes.  I'll probably put a poll up on this.That's probably one of the biggest changes I've thought about thus far.As I don't have a spot currently, I'm going to post some of what I've done here...you can comment on what you like, dislike, or other thoughts.Finally, I'm going to do the OGL document first.  After I have the OGL done, it will be VERY EASY to transfer ideas into 5e so I will do a 5e document which makes it possible to play in a 4e style.  THAT, and ONLY THAT will probably go up on DMsGuild and will have to be placed in the Forgotten Realms.  For this version you will need to have the 5e rulebooks as it will be based off the rules of the 5e SRD.  It will basically incorporate a powers system that you can play with 5e if you desire, rather than any drastic changes to the 5e rules themselves.  The most difficult part MAY be incorporating new classes, but as OA took place in the Forgotten Realms world (Faerun) having classes such as an Oriental Warlord, a Samurai, and other items should be doable...though the focus probably will not be so much on the Samurai.I still do not have a home for the original document I'm making.  If anyone wants to host, it would be nice.  If someone knows where we could have a d/l spot (that has no spyware with it) that would also do in a pinch, especially for people to see the full document and evaluate what is being done as it progresses.</blockquote>
