[QUOTE="duke_Qa, post: 4497048, member: 63087"] Sorry for the inactivity, busy weekend with two game sessions and a 9 hour trip back to school. Pretty much spot on. Although I can't say I know of the exalted background points, but it sounds like good stuff. I don't see how a modular system that does not inhibit the core game and is open for all, is supposed to make the game completely imbalanced. There will naturally be a certain skewering of DC's and pre-combat situations will probably give pcs advantages. But this is not supposed to be a combat supplement and the rules should reflect that. Which would most likely happen with anything you add to a 4e game. Compared to combat-oriented magic items, feats and paragon paths, these non-combat additions is like powdered sugar sprinkled on a triple-leveled wedding-cake. It might make it better, but its not where the main calories are hidden. anyway, i'm think i know where people are standing on this topic now. i'll go ahead and try making some basic rules here now.
