[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 5994215, member: 518"] Background: I am planning on running KOTS for my 12yo son. We have been playing the PFBB for the past 10 months or so with great success,however after some "wish listing", he prefers fewer combats, but more dynamic/exciting ones. I figured i would prune KOTS of some of the repetitive encounters and run that to see what he thinks. Not to mention as a DM I prefer 4E monsters that have a bit more variety in attacks, and the easier to use statblocks/encounter formats. I have the red box essentials starter and plan to use that as it already has a fighter similar to what he plays in PFBB, and having the power cards, will be a boon as well for him. I no longer have a DDI sub because my 4e group disbanded before essentials hit the market, so no printing out cards/character sheets. Will the essentials fighter or other essentials classes "work" well enough with old core adventures/material? Or essentials monsters work ok with core?, etc. I am not a stickler for rules,nor is he,so minor stuff is not what I am worried about. LONG WINDED POST which essentially can be summed up as "how compatible are the two systems"? [/QUOTE]
