[QUOTE="Galadrin, post: 4291081, member: 69113"] Hi everyone, I just started to read the first few responses (that was fast!). I don't have time to get to all of it right now, but a lot of good suggestions. I think baberg's comment about play balance is quite good; how could I make fighter types more... fighty? If arcane and divine characters get their spells, perhaps only martial characters add 1/2 level to their attacks? LostSouls question about what each class should "feel like" out of combat is also really thought-inspiring, I will have to sit down and work on that I think, but a lot of fun stuff is coming to mind. Anyway, I have noticed that I have been accused of trolling and I really hope I don't come off that way... I don't mean to criticize 4e, I just want to fix it more to my expectations of classic fantasy adventure. As to simply picking a new game, there are a lot of reasons for me to stick with 4e! One, it's new and will be well supported. Two, and most importantly, there are a lot of things I really like about 4e... including the basic framework of the game (aka the new d20 system). I think it would be more of a challenge to take that skeleton and apply it to another game than to simply change a few of the outlying mechanics in 4th Ed. For instance, I like skills, the task resolution system (roll 1d20, add modifiers, compare to target number for all tasks), the basic battle system (grab, slide, shift etc), the four defenses (probably my favorite thing) and I am really liking the multi-class system and rituals. I don't mean for my entire post to be responding to the trolling claims of course... I just felt that I had posted a rather well thought out set of ideas and was a little disappointed when people didn't feel they were so well thought out : ( [/QUOTE]
