With a magical healer in the party or ready access to magical healing potions, it becomes quite easy. 3e has a very slippery slope when you hit negative hps giving a feel that death is imminent (with the mechanics definitely supporting this). Knowing that healing magic will be used as soon as available (or the character dying), there is nothing stopping you with the guts across the floor description because the magic is going to shove the guts back in or the character is going to *die.4e however with a warlord in the party complicates this by not allowing such description. Additionally, if the injured party does not get magical healing and simply makes their saves, gets some rest, gets their surges back and zing, the guts across the floor description never becomes available. Essentially, you really have to work at it to kill your 4e character.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise*The only exception here is that stupid standard action heal check to stabilise the injured character. We always joked about that when combined with the guts across the floor description It was a move action to run to the injured character and then a standard action heal check to kick their intestines back in. So 3e could upon occasion compromise the over-the-top description if the magical healer didn't get there first. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
