[QUOTE="McBard, post: 3744866, member: 14934"] Actually, there's a comment from someone at WoTC out of GenCon (I'll see if I can track it down) that addresses whether 4e will allow for a Grim and Gritty campaign. If I recall, the answer was that "Grim and Gritty opitons might be dealth with in the DMG." In any event, I think it might easily be done: provide a chart with three columns ("no magic items", "few magic items", and "normal magic items" [the default being the last]) and then simply increase the frequency of attribute increases and feat/talent slots for the first two kinds of campaigns (or whatever character power currency seems appropriate). All of this does, of course, depend on the newly defined norm for magic items in the default system. By all indications, their impact seems to be decreasing, and so devising a chart such as this does not strike be as difficult as it would to be to do currently with 3.5. [/QUOTE]
