[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5792133, member: 158"] I play 4E, and even I don't like the whole "residuum" thing. But to DD's point, there's nothing that would stop you in a convention game from running this "improved" rust monster or any other nasty surprise -- just as you would in any other instance, advertise up front that you are running a bit more of a hard-core old school game than usual, using the 4E rules. in 4E's case (and people don't believe me) its exception-based design means that such a creature would not be totally out of place. It's a matter of, like anything else, managing expectations from your audience. [/QUOTE]
