[QUOTE="Kahoots, post: 4071309, member: 60570"] I'm thinking that the Real Time duration of a battle should be shorter, but the number of rounds will either stay the same or increase by a small amount. Of course, the amount of time that passes between turns should drop significantly. (The 10+ minutes between rounds at a big table was a major issue before.) My perception is that the designers were trying to have a turn involve moving, using a power, throwing a single To Hit D20, then damage dice, and then the next person goes. Anything that could lengthen that time period was relatively expendible... multiple attacks involving numerous attack rolls and damage throws, etc. To your question about damage, it seems that average HP for a monster and the PCs will be lower and damage output will also be lower. If you are looking at damage output from a single attack as a percent of the monster's max HP, I would agree that PC's attacks will seem stronger as they are lumping the previous several attacks into one... but then again, a miss on the single attack negates that PC's attack all together.
