If you weren't already reluctantly using them, then that statement probably isn't going to do much for you. If you like magic shops, or are playing in a setting where they make sense, then that statement isn't going to do much for you. For me, I got something out of the statement and that...

I would say that is a fair interpretation. There are currently two other threads in this forum discussing hitpoints (one about healing and one about camping, IIRC), if you'd like to take a gander. Welcome to EN World.

Only if it's your name. ;) Bias! :p Seriously, his review has me pumped and has pulled me from slightly positive to I will buy 4e when it comes out. Ooh yeah!

Yeah, I'm convinced that the reviewer doesn't actually like 4e, but is instead suffering from ERS. Poor guy. Somebody get him a does of 3.5, stat!

Maybe you even have some blood exiting your body. I've been losing blood in my life without much reduction in ability and recovered quickly. Of course, I've also been losing blood in a manner that incapacited me and took a while to heal. The former is modeled by 4e (and IMO, every incarnation...

I've only had experience with one "official" D&D system that attempted to model grievous injuries - AD&D 2nd Ed. Player's Options: Combat and Tactics. Granted, there may have been other "tack-on" systems for different editions, but to my knowledge, no edition of D&D has handled grievous...

I really like this. Now, instead of taking a day, blowing through cleric spells and taking another eight hours to rest, we can get back to the adventure a bit faster. Since hitpoints are abstract, this change doesn't hurt my suspension of disbelief much at all. Heck, if I want lasting wounds...

I think that Robin Hood did something similar in Costner's Prince of Thieves movie.

I have $5 that says he'll mention this again in his lifetime. ;) I'm not sure about what I've read, so I'll have to mull it over for a while...I think that I felt more positive than negative...

I'm going to guess that's the per month cost, based on the length of subscription. :)

Either way you're doomed. On one hand, you flirt with other people's girlfriends, which could lead to an ass-whoopin'. On the other hand, you're every girl's friend, which will lead to many lonely nights. Keep up the good work Cassanova.

I too have seen the 1-1-1-1 light. I am no longer adverse to this, especially since I don't know exactly how the 4e rules will synergize with 1-1-1-1 diagonals.

I'm not sure that I agree with this, unless you're saying that D&D has never been a good game and really has no hope to be a good game. D&D has always had classes. The classes have always had certain functions for which they were more suited. Published modules have (almost) always made the...

Now I understand. Your request is no longer as ludicrous as your prior post...and yes, I was being an ass before.

I agree with Cadfan, Kamikaze Midget, hong and others (I suppose that means I'm also agreeing with WotC, too). I like that heroic characters have more survivability and hope that it scales nicely through all levels. One of my gripes with 3.x was that once the players got to a certain level...

Oh my. See, this is why I come here...where else will you get this sort of funny? Where, I ask? Lizard, you're my hero. Also, if I'm lucky, Cadfan has you on ignore... :)

-11 degrees fahrenheit, this morning (not including wind chill). Yeah, it's a bit chilly.

This is a war. Battle lines have been drawn. Blood has been shed. It's got a life of its own, now. Our best bet is to lie low and hope that a stray bullet doesn't come our way...OR, laugh at the absurdity of it all (that's what I'm doing).

Okay, that was funny. :) @Cadfan - your request is unreasonable and unrealistic. Proven trolls are banned, so I'm assuming you mean people that you feel are trolls. Since you can't very well tell us who you have on ignore, we are going to have to guess who to quote/how much to quote. I...

Exactly.
