D&D 4th Edition details

A lot of streamlining and refining.

• Some classes are merging (Rangers and Scouts), (Possibly Wizards and Sorcerers)
• Greyhawk is no longer the default setting. It is now a much more generic GM defined setting.
• Magic item creation no longer will require XP.
• Feats and class abilities to be replaced with talent trees as done in the new Star Wars Saga Edition.
• Critical threats automatically confirm.
• Levels go to 30. Prestige classes go away, but multiclassing is improved.
• Racial abilities are now level based. A 1st level Orc will be very different from a 30th level one.
