[QUOTE="Psikerlord#, post: 6630461, member: 93321"] The most important part of the fun in combat for me is the roleplaying. I find it great fun to describe my PC's attacks and the wounds he causes, talk/taunt the NPCs, yell at other PCs, etc. If the game is just "I hit 17, 14 damage. Ah that's it for me" that gets woefully boring very quickly. Not saying it doesn't happen some rounds. It does. But if you make an effort to describe what's happening, I find other players/DM do too, and the game goes to another level. PS - I have no issue with describing bloody and brutal wounds etc. We treat HP flexibly as meat and/or a more vague "capacity to continue fighting". We use slow healing and injury options from DMG. So say my rogue takes a gash to the ribs and also her arm. After the combat we short rest and bandage up, spending HD and she heals back to full. Her wounds do not magically disappear. The rogue is still bloodied and sore, but she's bandaged up good, and is capable of further fighting as reflected in her HP. [/QUOTE]
