[QUOTE="Cwheeler, post: 4883916, member: 72242"] This fork has grown out of a discussion in this thread: [URL]http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/258704-mad-science-idea-needs-help.html[/URL] . ------ Looking at the 4e classes and power-sources, it shouldn't be too hard to create a functioning sci-fi reskin of the game. ------ [B]Classes[/B] Martial: Fighter - Soldier Ranger - Scout Rogue - Scoundrel Warlord - Commander Arcane: tech-based. They could be based around coplex gadgetry, high-tech weapons, or even nano-machines. Divine: Cosmic. These characters have had their powers granted to them by vast, highly evolved intelligences (Similar to the Ultimate Intligence of the Hyperion books) Primal: Bio-Tech. The primal characters come from the wild corners of space, and from societies that try to adapt to existing environments, rather than terraform them. They use natural and bio-engineered sybiotes to alter their physical makeup and exert controll over their surroundings. Psionic: Ummm, do I really need to explain this one? A couple of the classes will proabably need some revisions to some class features, and a few may need a new build (ranged builds for the martial classes, specifically) ------ [B]Races[/B] This should be an easy job - either reskin the existing races, or create a new set of core ones. A few ideas: Devas: Creatures created by the Ultimate Intlegences, with the ability to tap into their limitless intelect. Eladrin: Creatures that have become masters of physical space: able to warp the world around them (Much like the warpsmiths from Alan Moore's Miricalman) Warforged: Robots! Either independantly created androids, or members of the techno-core. ------ [B]Equipment[/B] Mele weapons can remain, and it shouldn't be too hard to create some basic ranged weapons (there have been a few attempts on this forum already) Magical weapons and armor can easily be converted into high-quality technology, and warforged components would make a good basis for cybernetic grafts & implants. ------ [B]Combat[/B] Some basic rules for high and low gravity situations, as well as rules for 3d movement and combat for Zero G situations. Existing vehicle rules may be convertable for spaceship battles. ------ If anyone has any ideas or thoughts, please share them! [/QUOTE]
