[QUOTE="Bohemian Ear Spoon, post: 4344005, member: 71517"] OK, seriously not meaning to start any flames, in fact, consider this thread entirely dispassionate, I am looking for answers of a mechanical nature, not Messianical or even Maniacal for that matter. Proposal: To take the character/monster/magic core rules and de-evolutionize them to fit into the (I don't know the proper term) milieu? classic myth-base? Basically traditional and original atmosphere 'setting' created by E.G.G with his GreyhawK campaign expansions, i.e: the core races, the daily-based spell rules, class structure, etc. In other words, the things that linked the original published game thru all of its incarnations until this 4th Edition. Even as I ask, lol, I realiaze the prejudice of the question. Who is to judge what does and doesn't fit the [I]milieu[/I] whatever that means? Surely not I, and the one man who could possibly give judgement is dead.. coincidence? (joking, you gits) So the question and this post are rendered nonsense I guess. But [I]darnit! [/I]I love the minions, the per-encounter type actions, the explicit grid rules-system, the look, the monsters, the shadowfell (cool!) but I HATE HATE HATE dragonkin, no Druids (weeps) monks or others, warlocks meh but ok, warlord WTF! that class does not make sense to me in a DOES NOT MATCH REALITY sort-of-way. Sheesh, so all I really wanted to know is would it be possible to have an expansion to 4E along the lines of "Classic Setting' or somesuch, so that the Conan/Vance/LotR purists at heart may still enjoy this new release? I mean the basic mechanical rules of 4E but with the core classic elements brought back, and the new expletives left behind. [/QUOTE]
