Message: <blockquote data-quote="der_kluge" data-source="post: 4513740" data-attributes="member: 945">I'll preface this by stating that I'm not that familiar with all the details of 4th edition, having chosen to stick with 3.5 myself.  That said, here are some ideas for you.Toss XP out the window. I did.  Very liberating. Assign quests to the party, and when they finish certain quests, level them up. Very easy. No more "I need 5 XP to level. Let's go open 1 more door." kinds of crap.I do this. Most PrCs can be obtained by 5th level anyway. So, it's hardly game-breaking.Instead of doing this, consider offering stat boosts as treasure.  For example, for rescuing the king's daughter, everyone receives a +1 to their charisma. Pretty spiffy, eh?I didn't change sneak attacks in my game because I still believe that sneak attacking things like golems doesn't really make any sense. Still, I allow Criticals to work on *everything*.  Meh. Not that big a deal to me. I like it, though.  The problem is that you could crit, and then roll a 1 for damage. So, in those cases, you'd be better off just threatening and not crit'ing.I don't see this as a problem in 3rd edition.Everyone has an opinion on how to do hit points. I allow PCs to choose average, or roll. If they roll, they can re-roll 1s.  It's always in a wizard or sorcerers favor to roll.I like this one. Not game-breaking.It's fine. I just use -10, but it rarely comes up in my games.I don't think I've ever seen massive damage come up in a game, but then I tend to play lower level games. You could axe it very easily.At 3rd level, I allow clerics to cast cure minor wounds at will. Well, actually, they can choose any 0th level spell to cast at-will, but I also recommend they take cure minor wounds.  The only other caveat is that this spell can't heal anyone to more than half their total hit points. It seems like a dumb concept to me, anyway. YMMV.Not sure what you're talking about here.I think 4e's feel is quite different from 3rd edition. I think you'll have a hard time fully doing that.  Nor would I recommend you try.</blockquote>
