[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 4471911, member: 11300"] From my play experience and reading of the mechanics, I feel that 4E is less deadly and less swingy than 3.[I]x[/I]. By extending the -10 death mark to negative bloodied, there is less chance of a single hit killing a character outright. However, there is a compensation factor here for this in that the challenges as presented in the modules I've so far played seem slightly more difficult. The factor I don't have experience of is higher level play. Negative bloodied is a long way away from a character at full hit points (and surges;)). This would seem to play itself into a character (defender?) goes down but the other characters combine to save the day (and the downed character) happening a lot. Is this the case or is there some factor here that makes that negative bloodied mark easier to reach at high levels? Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
