C4's page

As you may know -- hey, I'm being optimistic here! -- I'm writing a 4e revamp. A sort of 4e Pathfinder, except not concerned with backwards compatibility. I'm not making changes for the sake of change, but I already have a set of 4e-compatible house rules; what I'm writing is more systemic. It will look, feel, and play like 4e (sans really long combat). I've been calling it Heartbreaker 4 (HB4), but that's just a working title.

Some not-so-coy ideas I've had:

4Ever
4Ever After
4Ever Quest (okay, just joking!)
4th Finder

And one more coy idea:
Misfits & Mayhem (stolen from Armchair Gamer's excellent categorizations of D&D styles)

Opinions and ideas are appreciated!

PS: If the above description of HB4 isn't enough, you can read a more detailed summary here.

C4 is short for the Complete 4th Edition. So, what’s C4 about? Well, a few things.

First, I’m not gung-ho about the CB (character builder), and I know I’m not alone. A set of all-sources-and-errata-included docs that require only Adobe Acrobat come in handy for some of us. This is C4's primary purpose.

Second, the game is still problematic. It has overpowered options like the infamous taxpertise feats and crippled trap builds like the star pact warlock. The designers, for whatever inane reason, haven’t seen fit to errata these problems and probably never will. C4 is errata for these problems.

C4 is a work in progress; I've written a lot, but there's still a lot more to write. If you're interested, email me at Complete4th@gmail.com and I'll send you what you want.
