[QUOTE="Aenghus, post: 5784616, member: 2656"] One thing is clear. The new edition will initially be much simpler in its core than 3e or 4e. It probably won't be possible to do a direct translation of many old characters to the new edition, at least till more modules come out. Now, I expect similar PCs can be achieved for the concepts that fall closest to whatever core classes are decided on for 4e. And it's unfair to expect a new edition with very little content to be as flexible as any fully mature edition with all it's supplements. Though this is what tends to happen with any new edition. There are some who find that things have changed and favourite PCs of theirs are difficult to translate immediately. After over 3 years of 4e products, it' s possible to translate most character concepts from previous editions to 4e. The translation will often look very different if it is to provide the functionality specified.This wasn't true at launch. [/QUOTE]
