Of course, all of this brings me to a real question.......should D&D combat be (very) abstract like in the old 1 minute round days, or should it keep the shift to a more detailed (I will not say realistic) model? Because it seems to me that keeping HP kinda argues against the detailed end of things and lends to an "energy bar above your head" feel when combined with it.</blockquote>
