[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 5478535, member: 5202"] I know Monte has said he won't be doing any conversion to 4E, but I was curious if anyone has taken the races from AE and made some changes to them for 4E. The assumptions of 4E are that there are no more minus stats, you get 2 bonus stats. Heck, recently it's one solid stat and then a choice between 2 others. Otherwise you usually have some form of encounter power, maybe a resistance and another couple of points. For example, I could see Litorians gaining some sort of Claw or Bite-based encounter attack as part of their racial. I know better than to expect the classes to be tweaked to 4E, but a lot of the things AE was doing got picked up in 4E anyway. Look at the strong focus on caster implements. Alignment has no real mechanical hold on the game anymore, so long as your Divine character has an alignment within 1 step of your god. I still love AE and Ptolus, but no one here in Louisville has any interest. I could probably talk my way into some of the AE races in a 4E game tho [IMG]http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
