[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5430520, member: 19675"] I want to counter I know from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE that 3.X characters are NOT relatively simple to transfer to 4e. Besides the issue of multiclassing I pointed out above, many powers have been shifted away from the levels & classes of the 3.X PCs I'd like to convert. IOW, the design decision of "To have power X, you must be class ____" means that PCs who have powers A, B, C, aaaaand X as one class in 3.X may find those powers dispersed over 2 or more classes. A Sorc of mine would actually have to be a Sorc/Wizard in 4Ed to do what he does now...and would still lose certain abilities while gaining others that have nothing to do with his concept. And multiclassed PCs get übershafted by this: good luck having your fireball-slinging, shapechanging, backstabbing Aasimar PC In 4Ed. Now, in all fairness, some of this is because 4Ed is young, yet. But there are options within 3.X which are highly unlikely to [I]ever[/I] appear in 4Ed. [/QUOTE]
