This page details how I intend to use the 4th edition rules. Comments welcome.

For now, any 4th edition book published by Wizards of the Coast will be considered acceptable, though I reserve the right to call “foul” at articles published in “Dragon” magazine.

More importantly, no custom races/classes/powers/etc. will be allowed.

Here are the books I currently own:

• Player's Handbook
• Player's Handbook 2
• Player's Handbook 3
• Dungeon Master's Guide
• Dungeon Master's Guide 2
• Monster Manual
• Monster Manual 2
• Manual of the Planes
• Open Grave
• Dungeon Delve
• Martial Power
• Underdark
• The Plane Below
• (plus numerous modules)

Unlike my 3rd edition guideline, I don't need to own a book for you to use one of its rules.

• All races from the Player's Handbook are allowed with the following restrictions:
  • Dragonborn are not allowed.
  • The Tiefling, Deva, and Goliath races are rare and will draw unwanted attention.
  • Eladrin are commonly known as “High Elves”. They are rare and will often turn heads.
  • Races from other books are allowed only with prior approval.
• Teleportation Circles exist, but are not accessible via the “Linked Portal” or “Reverse Portal” rituals.
• Rules published in sources outside the main books are at my discretion. This includes Dragon Magazine, and the Eberron and Forgotten Realm settings.
• XP will be distributed to all PCs regardless of attendance (however it will still be calculated based on attendance).
• Treasure will be parceled out in the form of one or more “Level N” item(s) alongside generic “cash” treasure. The players (as a team) will have to decide what the magic items really are. For more information, see the treasure page.
