We play new characters and once in a while we break out the old ones and do a paragon adventure. This way, the world seems like there are far fewer paragon threats than heroic. We have yet to hit epic with any 4th edition characters.2. If you cap your to hit bonus at +20, wouldn't you hit less? Or are you capping AC at 30 (as opposed to "level 30")?3. We play 4th edition with graph paper. We haven't used any minis in our game. Works fine for us.4. Then don't allow diplomacy checks in your game. Its not a big deal. Just warn your players before they create characters.5. I don't get it. It is YOUR game to play how you want to play it. If you want to get rid of DCs, that is fine. However, DCs can make things interesting. Say you want something that is impossible to do, and the character rolls a natural 20 on the DC check. Well, the characters are heroic, so let the character enjoy the fact that he rolled a 20, and let the impossible happen. You are playing to have fun right? The chance of rolling the dice is half the fun!6. Conditions are cool.7&8. At wills are no more repetitive than any other combat system D&D has ever used. At least you get two different ones. Encounter powers do tend to be used at the beginning of the encounter. No fix for this, is fun to start out on a high note. We fixed daily powers by making them daily in the real life sense. We normally get through 4-5 combats a session, so we allow the daily powers to be used once a session. Makes the game much more fun. I usually half the HP of monsters and double their damage. This makes the combat faster but not any less dangerous.Why do you need WotC to put out the edition that is perfect for you? Why can't you play the game for yourself? My group still hasn't used the bloodied condition, and any powers that give temporary hit points give real hp. However, I will be playing a barbarian soon, so we will be starting to implement bloodied into the game. Now go enjoy a great New Year, with plenty of gaming!</blockquote>
