[QUOTE="delericho, post: 4946178, member: 22424"] I only bring in new rules at the start of a new campaign (this also includes adding new supplements, as well as House Rules). This follows an experience of switching edition in mid-campaign that proved to have... complications. That said, if I were running a campaign that was intended to run for a long time (more than a year), I might well consider making rule changes in mid-stream. In this case, I would first discuss the proposed changes with the players. If they object (possibly if only one player objected), I wouldn't press ahead with the change. Assuming the players were okay with making the change, I would also give the opportunity for them to tweak their characters in light of the changes - if I nerf weapon X, a PC who uses this weapon may well want to switch; if I boost ability Y, someone might want to redo their character to take advantage of this. (The one restriction I would put on this is that the PC has to remain fundamentally the same - Bob the Barbarian cannot suddenly become a halfling rogue, for example. That said, I [i]always[/i] allow a player to retire a character and bring in a new one, so that's not much of a restriction - if Bob's player really wants to play that halfling rogue then he can.) I haven't commented on your specific proposed changes - I don't know 4e well enough to really do so. [/QUOTE]
