I'll post it up on my website over the next few days, hows that.
I changed my mind about adding a fourth column to the Limited Damage Expression Table after further research.
Kudos, mate! Looking forward to it. I tried sussing it the other night, but couldn't come up with the numbers your post suggested.
A few more questions, if you'd indulge me:
Off hand, have you nailed down which 16 portfolios you'll include?
Will these be "classes", then? Like a 5- or 10-level Fire Controller (i.e. "Fire Lord") class, etc?
How much symmetry are you going to try to bend into shape for the 4E rules? cf. Magic vs. Science (i.e. no Dr. Doom), Love vs. Wisdom (I know what Elvis said, but hey... cut us some slack ), Skill = Dexterity, and other things that were met with contention from the public. I for one wouldn't mind seeing some of that go with the dodos, freeing up people for more elaborate portfolio combinations while simultaneously shoveling a little of the responsibility onto the DM and the players (and thus off of you) with regard to what is "reasonable" in terms of combos and such. Seems to be a motif in 4E; could be helpful.
Have you taken a look at the 4E XP chart for PC progression yet? I tried to bust that table but came up with some off results when pairing it with expected XP gains per encounter of nth level (11th level requires +500 XP, for instance, while 21st requires +4000 XP). Curious what your take was on it; I would have liked to have dropped a 31-60 XP table on your plate for the assist, but haven't been able to smooth out the breakdown.
