[QUOTE="Theory of Games, post: 9705339, member: 7042201"] Steve says that, indeed, the Valiant adventures supplement was a step towards 4e. Noticeable changes: [LIST] [*]Definitely more lethal than the 'Saturday Morning Cartoon-ish' experience M&M3e has been: attacks are now separated into "lethal and non-lethal" kind of like Champions [*]The PL for 'new superheroes' bumps down to PL8 instead of PL10 [I]sigh[/I] [*]The core remains the same (e.g. Strength & attack bonuses will be the same) but there have been tweaks (e.g., Bonus and Penalty dice that operate like D&D5e's Advantage/Disadvantage - kinda) [*]Certain skills go back to the M&M2e mode of being more specific (e.g., Technology is gone, replaced by Computers, Electronics and Mechanics) [*]Presence gets a long-needed boost with the new Overwhelm/Impress action giving social interaction some teeth (including new Presence-based advantages like [B]Command[/B] and [B]Reaction[/B]) [*]Conditions have been "refined" (this was what I was spying at ATT in Steve's open notes for the community) [*]Oh yeah, Fighting and Dexterity are gone :oops: [/LIST] There's more. Steve stresses 4e is in playtest mode and he has a history of listening to what the community wants from M&M. The Valiant Adventures quickstart is free on DrivethruRPG. Join the playest!
