Ditching the classes

[Silverwave]

I had this idea while reading some of the posts.

What if you ditch the classes and let the characters pick-up powers from any class list? That would lead to a wider choice of powers, being able to make the character you'd really like.

What you think? Good or bad idea? Your thoughts.

I had his idea while reading your post.

What if there was a whole forum for tinkering with 4e? Wouldn't that be awesome?

What if people had enough communication skills that they didn't feel the need to rely on sarcasm?

Sorry, I was sure I had this posted in the house rule forum.

Oh, it was kind of funny.

I'll slide this over.

This topic was discussed here.

While this thread is not likely to be updated, it still proves vey useful. It would be nice to see a mod recreate this thread and sticky it, as well as get someone to keep it updated. This would keep people from continually asking the same questions.

I wouldn't approve of getting rid of classes

The game was mechanically built around the concept of "classes" this is what gives the form the function known as balance.

Your not supposed to be able to make a character that can do it all
Why then would you need a "party" ?

Bad idea. The powers weren't written or designed to be combined willy-nilly. Sup-optimal and broken combos would abound.

Thanks, I didn't knew about those posts. I agree, Fan Creation Compilation should be stickied !

To be perfectly clear, I also think that it is not a great idea. I just knew where to look.
