Oh, I saw earlier comments and debates about whether it was similar or not, or whether it was the equal or not. I am just commenting that not only is it similar, even the exact same 3 steps described in order to create and spend the budget are nearly identical, with the exception of the order of #1 and #2 and the XP amounts involved.
Even the XP multipliers for difficulties are effectively the same as the 4E system, since mathematically going down 2 levels, or up 2 or 4 levels in difficulties yields very close mathematical results to the multiplier values presented.
However, when I first posted on this, I did not catch how old this thread was originally made. I assumed that the thread was new since the opening of the new subforum, without actually looking at the date.
