But you'll still invite people to explain how they see things, if you post your view on it.Sure, I wouldn't be. Though I am not sure if I would worry that much about it. I am not married to D&D, even if we play it a lot. If D&D 4E was not to my taste, I'd keep playing 3E, Iron Heroes, or would finally run some Star Wars or Shadowrun again. I know, everything people post on the internet is implicitly "IMO", but stating it like this doesn't make it as if you feel like its true. The game we played last saturday felt very much like D&D as I expect it to feel. I have obviously different associations with D&D than you, but 4E definitely definitely fires my D&D neurons. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />You never threw a fireball at your own parties fighter or Rogue? Pah, we did that a few times. Sometimes relying on Evasion/Improved Evasion, other times relying on Resist Energy, but we certainly did that a few times. (1) It is the same spell, but not the same character. The character shooting scorching blasts at Human Rabble with have a lower level than the character shooting Scorcing Blast at demon minions (or rather devil minions - I think there are no demon minions so far)(2) If you want to keep your senses, don't ever run level 20 minions against level 1 characters. Stay in a reasonable level range. You wouldn't run a 5th level party against a Pit Fiend, either. (3) Damage in 3E does scale with level, especially for wizards. You keep using a 3rd level spell against 5th level monsters and against 10th level monsters, and the impact would be about the same.</blockquote>
