[QUOTE="GreyICE, post: 5912359, member: 6684526"] My first reaction is "no." My second reaction is "good god no." Diablo 3 is a twitch-based system which focuses on using a small number of skills in a variety of situations. It has a lot more in common with Call of Duty than D&D. Always has, always will. I suppose if you took 4E, replaced magical items that had interesting powers with magical items that had flat bonuses, significantly reduced both monster HP and movement speed (basically reduce both by a factor of 4), cut all defender classes, and quadrupled the number of monsters on the average map you might get close. Maybe. Honestly, if I were to do it, I'd also: Replace damage rolls with flat damage numbers Remove all 'off turn' actions Give melee classes at least twice as much HP and add +2 AC (they're going to be in the middle of an enormous mess). It'd need total redesign of the system. [/QUOTE]
