I go the other direction and I would start with 5e and make it more 4e.I enjoyed 4e a lot and I incorporate a bunch in my 5e games, the 5e DMG has a heavy focus on do it your own way and DM rulings so incorporating 4e stuff into 5e is fairly easy.I do 4e solo and elite and minion style modifications to 5e monsters. Double hp and attacks for an elite. Give solos area attacks instead of single target ones, multiply hp by number of players, and give them some reaction action economy and defenses against stunning and one shot magic. Minions are fewer powers and 1 hp, use four or five of them for each standard you would otherwise use.4e monster powers can be fairly easy to throw onto 5e monsters for mechanically interesting 5e fights. Some numbers will change for attack bonus and damage, but sliding people around as part of an attack works in 5e.I have run a number of 4e style skill challenges using 5e skills in my 5e game. It is easy.I do 4e action movie cut scene five minute breather short rests instead of the default 5e 1 hour short rest. 5e DMG suggests different rest times for different feels.If you want to mess with PC stuff feats allow an option to bring in 4e powers like defender mechanics if you want to put in the work.</blockquote>
