[QUOTE="Bladesong, post: 4642771, member: 20800"] Well, some of them we had already been doing before 4ed was even a stray thought. For example I had already had a variation on passive skills; I always assumed characters and creatures were “taking 10” as they skulked about. I had already reduced the number of skills and made them set to ½ character level (but I was using 3 instead of 5 for 1st level). I also had already split certain spells out as incantations (or rituals as they call them). So I guess the only things I have really taken from 4ed would be the healing system (i.e. surges, saves after reaching negatives and bloodied or at least a variation on it). I also have taken certain powers (I really hate that term for some reason) and translated them into feats or altered feats from some of them (cleave for example). 4ed has its merits, I just do not care for it overall…it does have parts that I really like however. Of course I felt the same way about 3.0/3.5. [/QUOTE]
