Message: <blockquote data-quote="Balesir" data-source="post: 5881799" data-attributes="member: 27160">Sorry - noted and corrected.I think a key strength of 4e is that it doesn't demand that the guy with any amount of HP be assumed to be either physically wounded or not. That is a world issue, not a system issue. The system need only say - and in 4e does only say - whether the "damage" the character has sustained affects him or her in a mechanically significant way. There is no reason why each player should not decide for themselves whether they envision the character as physically wounded or not - provided only that they acknowledge that any physical (or other) wounding present has no mechanical effect.I don't think there is any such thing as "correct". There are only a plethora of opinions about what is "correct" and what is not. This, among other considerations, is why multiple roleplaying systems exist.No - I'm not missing it. There are 4 possible states, here:1) The creature has physical wounds and has reduced capacity to avoid/absorb fatal injury.2) The creature has physical wounds and does not have a reduced capacity to avoid/absorb fatal injury.3) The creature does not have any physical wounds and has reduced capacity to avoid/absorb fatal injury.4) The creature does not have any physical wounds and does not have a reduced capacity to avoid/absorb fatal injury.Creatures (2) and (4) have full hit points (including any healing surges, if used), creatures (1) and (3) don't.</blockquote>
