[QUOTE="WhimsyTheFae, post: 3779510, member: 8964"] Wow, this is a growing thread, isn't it? A couple observations: 1. Sun Knight and 4e don't appear to be compatible at this point. He is correct, though, that prior editions did allow for more variety than just +x in magical weapons and armor. I believe that he is jumping the gun in thinking that 4e will not allow for the same sort of variety with these magical implements. 2. I like this idea, but like some others, the Tome is the real sticking point. I'll probably house-rule a different item in its place. It just doesn't feel right. [B]EDIT: If the Tome is no longer in the article, then this point is no longer an issue...although, I am not happy with the current spellbook...[/B] 3. While not related directly to the thread, I did see mention of hitpoints, class-based defense and armor. I would like to see a class-based defense (whether it is a SWSE-style Reflex Defense or not, I don't care). I would like to see armor be used as Defense OR Damage Reduction, at the attackers perogative. Either the attacker attempts to attack around the armor, in which case, it adds to the defense but allows for more damage...OR...the attacker powers through the armor, in which case, the defender is easier to hit but gains DR. 4. I also hope that the cleric has something at least related, so that he may use religious implements in spellcasting. 4e_Optimism = 4e_Optimism + 1 [/QUOTE]
