OK, so let's say that you were to make a class that attempted to replicate some of the feel of older editions within the 4E framework.
Let's say that this class is to be named The Grognard.
Some ideas:
Your two build options are Fighting-Man and Magic User. The Grognard is a hybrid-powered class (martial and arcane) with both spells and exploits.
Your class features replicate the mechanics of older editions. For example, you may have one feature that requires enemy attacks to roll under your AC in order to hit. I'm not quite sure how to work this and make it balanced though.
What do you think?
Is this possible?
*edit*
Heres an idea for a feature...
Chainmail Combat
If you are wearing chainmail, then whenever you would make a d20 roll, you may roll 4d6 instead. If you are rolling for attack, then for each 5 or 6 you roll the attack deals an additional 1 damage.
This could make for a good Striker I think.
