D&D 4E 4e . . . the RIFTSization of D&D!!!

[Relique du Madde]

Can I be the SDF 1*?


*after refitting all it's armor to mdc instead of using its sdc value

-you roll dice to resolve actions
-paper sheets to note character stats
-minimum of 2 players
-rules come in a book

You rock.

Holy crap!

1. Points of light setting.
2. No ability penalties; bonuses only.
3. Demons and lizardmen as PCs.

It's the RIFTSization of D&D!!!

Any other examples from those who know more than I?

Ok, I just can't help myself!

It'll be RIFTSized if the following happens:

There is such a total disparity of power between classes that it makes me cry. See the following example-

Player 1-I'm a Rogue Scholar! I have a laser pistol and a suit of Megadamage armor! I can read! I like to teach others to read!

Player 2-Hey! I'm a Glitterboy. I have a walking tank that can level entire buildings in a shot. I don't care if I can read.

Player 1- Wanna learn how to read so I can go home?

I love when original thread starters orphan their threads when they go in the opposite direction then they originally had planned

oh, btw... i think both RIFTS and 4e have a Strength stat... 4e still lacks vibro weapons tho

I can't believe the number of people who are making wild speculations and labeling them as fact! Since WotC knows how cool vibro weapons are, and since they are in SWSE, it's obvious they're going to be in 4e. How can you think otherwise???

LOL


Do I have to spend two hours making a character only to have it killed in the 1st of six actions?

I lay claim on the juicer

Player 1 - I'm a Reformed Demon struggling to be human again. At 1st level, I'm as powerful as I will ever be - EVER! - and I get less powerful every level as I shed my demonic abilities, one by one.

Player 2 - I'm an Atlantean. At 1st level, I'm the weakest I'll ever be. I only deal X megadamage. How much megadamage do you deal at 1st level?

Player 1 - X/2. *cries*

Megadamage, that's just what D&D 4E needs!

And glitterboys, of course

Did people gripe this much when 3rd Edition came out? It feels like TES4: Oblivion all over again, except without celebrity voice actors.

Yes, they did! Even more, if I recall correctly...

That's why I have a big déjà vu sensation in EN World these last months...
