Message: <blockquote data-quote="Destil" data-source="post: 5538219" data-attributes="member: 1980">Note: this is 4.5 territory. I wouldn't make all of these changes if I could, because they make the game to different in to many annoying ways. That said:+X items go to +9. Fixes nearly all of the math. There are no plussed items at 1st 11th or 21st level. Move some other items around to be 'tier appropriate' to make sure those gaps aren't a big deal. Split all existing magic enhancements into minor medium and major (rather than weapon +0 through weapon +5).Level 2  +1 minorLevel 3  +1 mediumLevel 4  +1 majorLevel 5  +2 minorLevel 6  +2 mediumLevel 7  +2 majorLevel 8  +3 minorLevel 9  +3 mediumLevel 10 +3 majorRemove expertise and the defense feats.PCs add a magic armor's enhancement bonus to attack rolls made to bull rush and grapple. Make sure all non-implement/weapon attack powers are ability +3/+6/+9 (or +5/+8/+11 vs. AC).This also means fixing item rarity rules:A vanilla plussed item costs the same as a minor item but is common and a property can be added at minimal cost with some (cheep 5% of the item's cost) uncommon reagent. There should be no other common minor enhancement, just vanilla plussed items.Rare plussed items base their plus on the wilder's level and things like temp HP on the wielder's tier. Make every weapon and implement that adds/changes a keyword/damage type rare. Make sure all rares are awesome and something that will be cool for 30 levels. Make every item that adds a constant item bonus to damage rolls rare.Weapon and implement cleanup: Every implement starts with a  'superior' bonus by default (i.e. all wands are accurate, all staves start with the stuff in staff expertise for free, all orbs impose a -1 save penalty, all rods are 'defensive'). This would roughly even them out with weapons. Make sure all implement classes have a few options.Clean up superior weapons and implements, add 'Superior Weapon Training' feat options to bring a martial weapon to par with a superior one (purely a flavor thing, I'd love to see longswords, greataxes, halberds and hammers with non-stupid names have a place the game). Something like the new expertise/superior implement feats, but simpler, cleaner and never applying to superiors. I'd keep superiors but drop their number, leaving it mainly as a style choice (huge sword vs. a guy who's amazingly good with a 'small' claymore).Make sure weapliment builds never have to double dip in feats.Add two-handed throwing weapons, make the tantalyr +3 and give it a non-stupid name (winged spear).Fix MulticlassingAny multiclass character gets power swap feats for free. If you're trained in a skill and get skill training in it from any other source you instead get skill focus (general cleanup, also applies to shades et cetera).Paragon multiclassing gives you an action point bonus (based on your second class, these would be added to the multiclass feats) at 11th and an at-will from your second class at 16th.Hybrids need some cleanup but I'd need to look at the specifics more.Oh, and if I'm allowed one last tiny thing, a one line bug fix. A new action.Lunge: Standard action. Move up to one square and make a melee basic attack after your movement. You can only take free actions after a lunge.</blockquote>
