[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4227507, member: 326"] Hey Ltheb dude! :) It certainly makes critical hits far more important. In 3E a crit would do double damage (or x3 for some weapons and x4 for scythes) but realistically that was only +25% of your output with 4 attacks (or even less with 2WF). So it was nice, but not likely to swing a fight. In 4E a crit seems to give you about +250% or more. Which is a massive difference (a critical hit is now effectively 10 times more important in 4E). I think its possible we may see Vulnerabilities akin to: Heroic Tier Monster - Vulnerability 5 Paragon Tier Monster - Vulnerability 5-10 Epic Tier Monster - Vulnerability 5-15 So multipliers are out, and flat bonuses (or penalties) are in, which helps for balance. [B]Also interesting in one of the past previews was the subject of currency.[/B] Heroic Tier - predominantly Gold used Paragon Tier - Platinum Epic Tier - Astral Diamonds In addition the exchange rate is 100 Gold = 1 Platinum and 10,000 Gold = 1 Astral Diamond. Makes you wonder what sort of currency Demigods & Gods will have... ;) [B]Brainstorming for a 4E book[/B], I have wondered what Portfolios I should have in the book. As far as I can estimate. Each Portfolio will require 4 pages in 4E (because you detail the powers therein). Therefore (assuming a 160 page book) I think a limit of maybe 20 Portfolios (possibly 24?) is realistic. Other portfolios will of course be dealt with in later books. So it begs the question what are the main (20) portfolios? I was thinking. Knowledge, Love, Skill, Stoicism, Strength, Wisdom Darkness, Fire, Mountain, Sea, Sky, Sun, Thunder, Winter Death, Healing, Magic, Protection, Trickery, War Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
