[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4534038, member: 70778"] Except for the fact I didn't say those things. I said some, not all. I also said before that there is a focus on combat in both 1sy edition AD&D and 4th. That may be the biggest connection to there feels. The rest, not so much. But the fighter should know nothing of HP, damage per attack expressed as a number, etc. More to the point a fighter would know vital locations to strike to cause the most damage to kill or incapacitate the opponent, but those do not exist in 4th edition. The character should have no knowledge of his character sheets and stats. I mean is there some bard, scribe, and minstrels going around? Maybe the scribe is making a business! No. I don't think scribes are sitting around doing that in their spare time. There is no baseball card that tells a fighter how much relative hit absorption he has and how much average damage he is doing expressed in numbers. [/QUOTE]
