And similarly unaware that the  designers have stated that the latter day products of 3.5 were being  impacted by 4th Edition design philosophies?Oh, I see reading further that Christopher Robin himself is making that  claim.Well, fair enough.Well, if you agree with the statement that NPCs will never interact with PCs except for 5 rounds of combat, then there's really not much else to be said.The original post talked about the disparity between Noonan's statement and the statement: "Combat is a part of stories and fiction solely there to provide drama,  but endless slogs with monsters and NPCs I don't care about have zero  drama."I disagree with Noonan and agree with the other guy. You obviously disagree with the other guy and agree with Noonan.Admin here. Don't tell other people what they must think or feel. It's a guaranteed way to start an argument instead of discussing the topic, and it's a good way to get yourself booted from a thread. ~ PCatI keep hearing how easy it is to reskin in 4th Edition, but now you're telling me that you never re-use a stat block? Weird.(You're about to tell me that that isn't what you said. But it is. Re-read your post until you figure out why.)Again. Dismissive sarcasm doesn't work well. A good rule of thumb: after you write a post, reread it and ask yourself "are people going to think I'm being a jerk?" If the answer is yes, don't hit submit. And each round each of those monsters gets to take an action. What's five times five?Oh c'mon! You guys are trolling me right?I say, "I'm not talking about how stat blocks are used in combat." And I get somebody replying to everything as if I were talking about how stat blocks are used in combat.So then I say, "Fine, let's talk about stat blocks in combat." And I get somebody replying to my post as if I were talking about scenarios outside of combat.... unless, of course, a compound went on alert and they were trying to track down the PCs.This is exactly what I'm talking about: You remove non-combat options from the game because they're "not particularly relevant in combat" and then you wonder why your modules don't have any non-combat options. Geez, I wonder if there might be a connection!</blockquote>
