[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4634044, member: 66434"] I can't speak for Jeff, but what I interpret the "no injury" comment to mean is that no matter how much pounding, slicing, crushing, or exhausting punishment a PC takes, its nothing that a 6 hour nap won't fix. For me, this is one element that turns 4E from a swords & sorcery fantasy game into a supers fantasy game. PC's effectively only have "stun points". Too much stun damage at once can still kill but anything less than obliteration is shrugged off like a mild headache. It really doesn't matter how you choose to describe the effects. The effects of damage don't have to be descibed like wounds at all. You can say that a PC who is down to 1 hp after a fight is very winded and bruised, but after 5 minutes of catching his breath, he is ok to fight again. While this mechanic is functional you end up with fluff that more closely resembles a combat with the X men than a group of fantasy adventurers. [/QUOTE]
