[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6032750, member: 87792"] I really disagree with those conversions. 1: Gandalf. He has [I]what[/I] level in Wizard? That's [I]how many[/I] spells/day? Does not play like Gandalf. 2: Legolas Greenleaf. Keen are the eyes of the elves. Seriously, in 3.X Legolas needs to be a ranger for the skill points. (This is a big failure of the fighter class in general) 3: Hobbits. Not happy with any of them - NPC classes for one, lacking in move silently for a second. But it's easy to pull the magic right out of 4e and leave just the ritual casting. This. A thousand times this. Which is why I claim that 4e is the only suitable edition of D&D to date for LotR. Ritual magic and swordplay. Meh. Call him a 4e bard and you're done. Swordplay, some mostly coincidental magic, powers like Lesser Flash of Distraction or Blunder, and rituals. That said for all I'm saying 4e is better than any other edition of D&D for Middle Earth, it [I]isn't[/I] The One Ring. It's good enough to work rather than being an actual good match. [/QUOTE]
