[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 3716823, member: 5868"] Several of the blogs and other information have indicated that 4E is still essentially the d20 system. Certainly a number of rules will have changed and character classes, etc will all be different. What I'm wondering is how much can be ported forward with little to no modification and still be essentially transparent to the players (and to a lesser extent the DM). I'm most interested in monsters and magic items, as these allow adventures to be played. And since it will be a long time (possibly never) to when all that stuff gets updated to 4E, it would be nice to know if it is relatively easy to use a monster from any of the 8 tomes of d20 monsters I have, or umpteen adventures, without having to generate a comprehensive conversion document for each one. I don't mean "works seamlessly" -- I mean "works transparently". Today I can be running a 3.5 adventure, and pick up a 3.0 product and run it. Monster skill levels may be off, and I have to tweak DR, but it's pretty much transparent to the players that I'm using a 3.0 product. [/QUOTE]
