[QUOTE="Harlekin, post: 4648148, member: 18615"] Yes, and as long as nothing else changes, it is easy to predict what the outcome of such a change would be. However, the more of the system changes, the harder it becomes to predict how much this rule affects actual gameplay. So discussing such a detail out of context may not provide much information about the game. This rule is actually a good example. In 3.x such a critical hit rule would make crits meaningless at higher levels, as basically all the damage is due to boni. On the other hand in 4th edition it can make crits on encounter or daily powers very exciting as most of the damage for these powers is due to the die roll. and there are even more ramifications. If I ever sounded like I was trying to say that I apologize. Everybody's opinion about a new system is valid. All I was saying is that it may be more influenced by emotion and initial impressions than by pure vulcanian logic. And you using the word "pet peeve" seems to imply that your dislike of these elements is not entirely rational.
