Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abraxas" data-source="post: 4860972" data-attributes="member: 1266">That's the problem though - I can't follow the themes with the 4E ruleset and arrive at a satisfactory approximation of my previous characters. My 1E druid can't even be approximated. My mutliclass character really don't work, and most of my single class characters are an amalgam of their classes and their signature equipment and style that just doesn't quite make the transition. (these are mostly 1E and 2E characters and only 2 were full casters)I looked over the characters I have played in the past when I began playing 4E and only 2 came to mind (both from 3.X E) as being compatible with the 4E system. My current character (a rogue) is patterned after a previous character (a rogue shadowdancer) - however, in actual play they don't feel alike at all. And since we've been playing for a year, I've watched how the cleric plays and the cleric character I thought could make the transition wouldn't (and he wasn't a buff himself and out fight the fighter type cleric, in fact he rarely attacked the enemy directly at all)All this is IMHO of course and YMMV. And this is as much of a derailment for this thread as I want to participate in - I don't want to divert it the realm of "demonstrating how I'm using 4E wrong when trying to approximate a character theme"</blockquote>
