D&D 4E Gamma World Ideas for D&D 4E

[ren1999]

I finally looked at the Gamma World rules and I must say that I really like these two rules.

add the level of the player character to the damage player characters do to non-player characters
add twice the level to the damage for greater powers

It makes the game go faster.
It makes having to recalculate the hit points for every npc unnecessary.

I really like how well written the new Gamma World rule book is. It isn't redundant in the least, it doesn't have redundant powers. It explains everything as if I didn't know anything about RPG's.

Love it. All D&D products should go the Gamma World route.

I think I agree.

Gamma World also does more to expose the math behind D&D. All the various stat increases, magic items, half level bonuses, feats, class features, etc., all amount to the equivalent of +1 per level.

The primary stat of 18 and secondary of 16 also points to D&D based rules essentially have an "I'm awesome" stat You can see more of this in the Dark Sun campaign setting where powers explicitly state to use your "primary stat."

It's everything a box set should be: clear, clean, condensed, self-sufficient. No dice though .
