[QUOTE="Destil, post: 5547381, member: 1980"] Wherein I try and do everything I outlined in the first two points [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/304965-three-moves-fix-change-d-d-4th-edition-2.html#post5538219"]here.[/URL] Doubt I'll ever even use this in a game, but it's been a while since I scratched my tinkering itch. [U]To do[/U] [LIST] [*]Get basic list of common/uncommon/rare plussed items, establish baselines of what each class can do. Throw out most garbage options and start fresh. [*]Faster crit scaling (level 10 PC has a +3 weapon grating +3dX, level 30 has a +9dX): Overpowered, bug or feature? [*]Should I also come up with better mastery solution(s)? Remove mastery because the above would be abusive with it? [*]Establish baseline rules for things like energy/damage type swapping/adding and constant item bonuses to damage. [*]Implements all need an extra bonus. Weapliments also need to be solved here. [*]Fix/Improve non-magical throwing weapons. [*]Round out support for weapon/implement types. [*]Minor feat cleanup - mostly removing old math fix feats. [*]Come up with reasons to use martial weapons. Scimitar Dance as a baseline? [*]Versatile is mathematically balanced, but unsexy at paragon and epic. Needs something cool. [*]Magic shields are uninspiring (though killing armbands will help a lot there). [*]Score all weapons (see below), remove the 1-2 point variances, clean up inconsistencies like range (maybe). [/LIST] A friend did this trying to reverse engineer weapons for a modern variant he was building. There's some outliers but it's very good as a starting point: [/QUOTE]
