[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4289328, member: 2020"] By mixing editions, I mean things such as: - Taking 3rd edition concepts like Prestige Classes, and extrapolating them backward as 2nd edition classes. - Taking the item saving throw charts from 1E, and placing them in 3E while dropping the 3E rules concerning item destruction. (thus, making 3E items vulnerable to attack.) - Taking higher powered spells - or lower powered spells - from one edition to another. - Taking 6 second combat rounds back to 1st or 2nd edition. - Taking Feats and Skills backward to 1st or 2nd edition. - Taking the magical items as they were in 1st and 2nd edition, and moving them forward to 3rd edition (want your Girdle of Giant Strength? Ok. It's just than in 3rd edition, it grants a Strength of around 40, not 23 ...) And so on. Say, modifying the experience point rules to make it harder or easier to level (perhaps you do gain 1 experience point per gold piece you take home in 3E. Or, perhaps, in 1E you don't gain much of anything for slaughtering CR1 critters if you're 10th level.) Can 4E be mixed and matched with previous editions in this way? [/QUOTE]
