v4 Rules & Mechanics Discussion

[sellanraa]

Here's a question regarding my biggest disappointment in 4e: character creation - specifically the lack of lifepaths and skills.

Is anyone who is thinking about jumping to 4e going to mod those rules anymore to add a bit more depth? The little I've pondered, it seems like to adjust the skill list a bit going from say, 12 to 20 or something would just break everything else down.

As far as the backstory, I agree it's lacking and ignores most of the rest of the world, but I think that's easy to ignore and adapt and they even include a note indicating such to empower anyone who is hesitant to make those kinds of modifications.
