[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 6195078, member: 78357"] Hitting more often means more damage, sure, but the biggest contributors to "grind" are: 1: Players not paying attention or not being decisive. 2. Lack of ointeresting terrain/features. For #1, this is the biggest drag on the game ever. In combat, 4E expects you to actually pay attention at all times as there's a lot that can be going on. It even gives options for reactions and interrupts to actually have off-turn actions, but knowing what's going on and being decisive is paramount. No more rifling through teh Doritos box to find the last cool ranch and putzing with otehr stuff until your turn is announced. For #2, when you've killed everything but the two artillery guys and you just run at them and they shoot until you catch them, that's kind of dull. If they're on perches you have to get to in a way besides just running at them it makes it a lot more interesting. [/QUOTE]
