Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crothian" data-source="post: 4290451" data-attributes="member: 232">Magic eight ball says "Future unclear".  It looks to me that they are not going towards using minis more, but that for people that do use minis those people will get a little more out of the game.  Modules by Wizards also might assume people are using minis more then in third edition, but after reading the books I think I can come up with interesting 4e adventures on my own that will not require us to use minis.  I think it will now be easier for people to see how to play the game with minis then without.  Only if you let it.  It is all about description.  even in earlier games a magic missile or lightning bolt could feel like just big weapons.  And there were people who said the Warlock is mechanically the same as a guy with a gun.  If the fighter describes his attacks and just doesn't say "I hit it with my sword" and if the Wizards mumbles arcane language and just doesn't say "I hit it with my spell" it will feel very different.</blockquote>
