If you were playing a 3E Warlock, it could easily be that you would just keep eldrich blasting the dragon. Its true a 3E wizard would be forced to throw different spells at it, but if that wizard had a choice (was more like a sorcerer) then you might just keep throwing the same spell at it. More generally, 4E opens up options by:-making most things standard (or minor!) actions vs. full round actions. You almost always have a move or something else you can do in addition to the attack. -making it easier to move around (1-1 diagnols, less OA via reach, movement related powers...)-giving at least two at wills to choose from-all those other options. Encounters, dailies, the action point, the second wind, the additional stuff that some classes and races get...Its true that 3E had a lot of options in theory (grapple, disarm, metamagic..) but in practice tactics tended to get repetative (full attack, tumble to flank and sneak attack, cast the most powerful spell left). From what I have seen, your effective 4E options will be greater then or equal to your 3E options.</blockquote>
