[QUOTE="scarik, post: 4557041, member: 79497"] I'm currently putting together a format to create and play supers in 4e. I'm working on an almost entirely custom method that dispenses with premade races and Classes and lets you simply make your own. The powers are going to be entirely point build, do it yourself, affairs. Here's the first version of the Races: [sblock] [B]Common[/B]: All Supers get the following [B]Ability Scores:[/B] +2 to any 2. [B]Size:[/B] Medium [B]Speed: [/B]6 squares [B]Vision[/B]: Normal -- [B]Racial Power: [/B] Pick one Bonus At-Will Any Racial Encounter (Second Chance, Fey Step, Elven Accuracy, Dilettante, Infernal Wrath, Dragon Breath, etc) -- [B]Defense/Utility: [/B]Pick one +1 to Fortitude, Reflex and Will Stand your Ground Nimble Reaction Bloodhunt Wild Step Trance Dragonborn Fury +1 Speed Bonus Feat Low-light Vision Dark Vision Climb equal to speed Swim equal to speed -- [B]Skills: [/B]Pick one +2 to any two skills One additional Trained Skill -- [B]Resistances:[/B] Pick one 5+1/2 level to one of (Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, Necrotic, Poison, Psychic, Radiant, Thunder) +5 to saving throws against one of (Charm, Fear, Illusion, Poison, Sleep) +2 to saving throws against 2 of (Charm, Fear, Illusion, Poison, Sleep) Dwarven Resilience Draconic Heritage -- [B]Miscellaneous:[/B] Pick one Defense/Utility, Skill or Resistance[/sblock] Its essentially a brute force list of the official races divided into 5 categories so that you can make all the races in the PHB. I have yet to come up with a series of drawbacks that would allow more powers. So Dwarves and halflings aren't entirely doable. Since there's only 2 or 3 racial drawbacks in the PHB as is (less speed, small, maybe fey origin) I'm not sure how to proceed. If people want I'll be happy to discuss it further, I also have classes and powers in a similar style so far. [/QUOTE]
