[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 4063380, member: 12037"] Ah, but the paradigm that "one bad decision won't kill you" is very important to this play style. Interesting choices should have interesting consequences, even if those consequences turn out to be deadly themselves, the initial decision won't lead to an inevitable death. It might lead to a second decision that could lead to your death, but you won't go from everything being okay to dead with one choice. This relates directly to the article in that the choice to jump the track probably won't lead to death itself. It might lead to a situation where death becomes much more likely, but it shouldn't itself lead to imminent, inescapable, death. One thing I'd like to point out at this point (and I agree with you) is for everyone to keep in mind that since 3e goes to level 20 and 4e goes to level 30, a group of 4th level PCs in 4e beating an 11th level encounter is roughly equivalent to a group of 3rd level PCs in 3e beating a level 7 encounter. Very difficult, but not unheard of. [/QUOTE]
