As opposed to the metagamy mechanic of anybody in the game suriving a sword thrust through the chest? Much less continuing to fight as if nothing had happened? HP are, for the most part, the ability to not be there when that sword thrust lands, but if you want to talk about suspension of...

The effects of your spells are not actions, free or otherwise. If you want to put your foot down as a DM to keep things under control, just make a ruling and carry on. Don't try to twist the wording of completely unrelated rules to try to make your case, it just makes a DM look like he doesn't...

The reason they didn't bother was it wasn't an issue at first. There are very few teleport opponent powers in PHB1 and the main offenders don't really kick in until Epic. Warlock Star pact at lv 9 and Feytouched PP at 11 only affect a single target. Wizard Spellstorm Mage ED at 20, Wizard 25...

Lots of things kill minions by the score and it stats pretty early, it's trivial to get a Burst 2 encounter power that autokill minions at level 1. I pretty much stop using minions except as filler (to get the last few xp of an encounter) by 7-8th level, there are just too many ways to auto...

And much like the cheese that comes out of WotC due to the laws of unintended consequences this becomes a very high chance of defeating any weapon using solo every single round at even low heroic levels since there are plenty of ways to ensure that your hit chance is through the roof. Party...
