[QUOTE="Engilbrand, post: 4535768, member: 44184"] Crazy thought. I know that this isn't RAWR!!, but why not just remove the damage part of certain spells if you don't want them to damage? You would still have to hit and have everything else in place, but remove the damage if the situation doesn't call for it. They have said that you can choose to knock something out instead of kill it. I know that I've told my players that, when they hit a minion, they have the option to do anything that they want to that minion. If they hit, they can describe it as just cutting off a leg, knocking unconscious, or beheading. Why not do the same thing for spells? If you use Charm Person or whatever it's called in 4th, just do the charm part, not the damage. Congratulations. That just got rid of part of the complaint. Granted, there are still a lot of spells that are missing, but this takes care of part of it. And if you say that you can't do anything that isn't in the rules... I'm sorry for you. [/QUOTE]
