But it'd certainly take some real work.You certainly could just treat such a book as a mechanics-only supplement. As you said, it'd retool everything to being level 6, reworking the rules to accommodate the changes...but I don't think it'd be quite so cut-and-dried.There are, at least to my mind, a lot of questions about what should be added, tweaked, or deleted in an E6 rulebook. Do you incorporate a lot of new low-power magic items (e.g. Super Genius Games' Loot 4 Less line of products)? What about introducing <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=81410&filters=0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=3152" target="_blank">incantations</a> for keeping some spell effects that are normally above 3rd level?And the monsters...at what level do you stop introducing higher-CR monsters? Do you keep them to monsters of CR 6? Or do you go a few points higher to account for stronger PC parties?That's without even getting into questions of campaign design. Should the book push a more Tolkien-esque feel for magic, where spellcasters are very rare? Should very high-CR monsters be kept in the game as background threats to create a "small fish in a very big pond" feel for players (e.g. "Swords are of no use here! Fly you fools!")? Does it include rules for making spell-less variants of paladins, rangers, and bards?E6 is a great idea, and I personally love it, but I think that it means different things to different people, and making a full game supplement out of the book would be tricky if it wanted to keep the "underground" popularity the idea is enjoying now.</blockquote>
