[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 4502408, member: 11300"] I'd be careful of over-assuming here. I gather I'm in the "rest of the replies" basket - but I've Played and DMed 4E. I think you will find the majority who reply on this forum have played 4E... like really. Not exactly. My role as DM is to make sure the players enjoy themselves - and the various facets involved with making that happen. Tinkering with the rules due to inconsistencies is distracting - and thus why I don't do it, as much as 4E makes me want to at times. Our group has found 4E fun and DMing compared to high level 3.x is much easier (once you get your rythym with it). But 4E still has its issues and warts. Glossing over them seems a silly exercise. Telling me to change things on the fly is an easy way to distract my players with inconsistencies - lessening their enjoyment in the process. Like most things, what might work for you might not work for everyone. Trying to tell people that it will work for them like you have, seems again a silly exercise. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
