[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4619673, member: 22779"] Hell, I'd say almost all the 4e "innovations" have appeared SOMEWHERE in 3e books. Very, very few are entirely new. I'm actually at a loss to think of any innovations in 4e that haven't appeared in some form in 3e. Granted some of them have been taken to a much greater extent - at will/encounter/daily powers being available to all classes for example - but, that system certainly appears in 3e. The Binder from Tome of Magic is the clearest example I can think of for that system in 3e. You've got the daily ability to bind X number of vestiges, each of which grant you a suite of at will and encounter powers. I think it's an easy question to answer honestly. "What innovations were created whole cloth for 4e?" Almost none of them. Again, I have no knowledge of the other thread. I agree completely with you and Imaro that somewhere within the rules space of 3e, there is a published solution to just about every issue that exists in 3e. I'm still not seeing anyone claiming anything differently. Hallivar I suppose is closest in that he's talking about access to those rules sets. But, even he is not claiming that the rules don't exist. [/QUOTE]
