[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 5060438, member: 813"] No, it is you who are hung up on YOUR view of what I wanted to do. My plan was for pre-level 1 "levels" as Fighter and as Wizard. That can't be done because to do that I need to strip away some of what makes a fighter a fighter so I can give it back as you gain levels. Within this framework, you could then provide the reader a formula for how to adopt other classes (that presumably don't exist at the time I wrote the book) to the pre-heroic tier. For the umpteenth time, this is not allowed with the GSL. Quite frankly, I found that disheartening enough to decide not to write for 4e. This was reinforced when my play group decided not to play 4e. Your idea is very good. I'd like to see someone take the concept and run with it. But I'm not the guy to do it. I don't want to be negative. But as Mark pointed out. There were hundreds of 3pps left high and dry when 4e was announced. Most of them disappeared in the GSL fiasco. That's reality. Now, perhaps it will flourish again as you hope. I'm not able to predict that future any better than you are. All I know is business abhors a vacuum. If there is money to be made, businesses will come and make that money. Continue to pitch ideas for things you think lots of 4e buyers need but no one sells. I'll ensure I'm not being negative by bowing out of the thread. Good luck to you in these endeavors. [/QUOTE]
