Message: <blockquote data-quote="ferratus" data-source="post: 4474253" data-attributes="member: 55966">You mean the companions need to be about 2nd-4th level to take on a black dragon, and they'll have a hard time doing it?Wow, that seems as if the encounter was tailor made for 4e!  A party of that level, facing a young black dragon, would indeed be in a great deal of trouble in 4e.See, I'd blame that on poor editorial control.  In the beginning of Chronicles travelling around various nations was very limited.  So much so that nobody among the 800 or so refugees knew that Tarsis was no longer a seaport, despite the fact that it was just a couple hundred miles away.Likewise, nobody knew about the big honking perpetual storm in the Blood Sea among the companions.  No one knew the fate of Xak Tsaroth.  Elves, dwarves and humans all hated each other, and nobody had entered the respective lands of each other in a couple hundred years. Everything was very mysterious and unknown to the adventuring party.Later books acted as if the state of the world was common knowledge to people and everyone moved around everywhere.  A reboot would be all that is needed to bring the 4e PoL feeling back.FR wasn't butchered because of the edition changes, but the story changes.  Besides, I wouldn't say it is butchered per say.  It is still a good setting, with lots of variety and story hooks.  It just isn't the same setting that it was.Also, the person you are replying to, qstor is simply wrong.  There is no reason you can't have magic revolve around Krynn's moons.  Bonuses to arcana checks in rituals, extra castings of ecounter powers, and bonuses to will defenses are a good translation of "increased level, extra spells, and increased saving throw" respectively.  Those are the bonuses you got in 1e when the moons were full and aligned with each other.</blockquote>
