[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 3879253, member: 2268"] Wow...I must say, I'm happy for that guy that it made him happy that he got to do character creation in that way with 4E, but...without attempting any snark or anything...I've been doing that kind of character creation (character concept first) for years now, with D&D editions from 2E on, and other games, and it's simply a matter of where you focus your attention on first. it ALWAYS informs the following steps, and enables you to choose the parts of your character that fit best to your concept. All you need is some creative thinking and a willing DM...and I doubt that will change much in 4E. The rest is mechanical tools to express that. If 4E offers better options for that, very fine...but I can't say 3E is lacking in the options department for expressing certain character concepts. :) So, put me up as "happy for the blogger, but not certain what it has to do with a 4E advantage" for now. :) [/QUOTE]
