[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5515686, member: 58416"] The clarify a little bit. In my encounter, I was using the type of gondola which is suspending from a cable in the air... similar to a ski lift. The only reason it lasted as long as it did was because I fudged the HP of it a few times. I normally hate to fudge numbers. Eventually I just allowed it to be destroyed because it quickly became apparent that many of the players were knowledgable about the rules enough to know it should have broken already. I think the only thing in that encounter which was more anticlimactic than most of the enemy dying from the falling gondola was when the party fighter used Come And Get It to cause some of the enemy to lemming walk off the side to their collective dooms. I suppose, in hindsight, as I look at my previous post, the point I was trying to make is that -sometimes- merely by being a PC in 4E, it's expected that you sidestep some of the gameworld. You're built on rules which are above, beyond, and often outside of the rules which the rest of the game world is built upon. [/QUOTE]
