I think in many ways it is a superior fantasy simulation to 3.5 E. I especially feel that 4Es healing system is far superior to previous editions of 3E. I also find the encounters more balanced and interesting. I like that all the PCs can contribute meaningfully to an encounter with more than a standard damage dealing power.4E was a very satisfying play experience. If it stays as balanced and easy to prepare encounters as the early 4E levels, I will be very pleased. I grew weary of designing high level 3E encounters that required excessive healing potions, magic items, and other types of contrivances you don't at all see in fantasy stories.Now a lvl 10 or 16 giant is a challenge for a lvl 10 or lvl 16 party with just his great club. No more having to watch a giant get butchered in seconds by the multiattacking crit master warrior or a simple Hold Monster effectively ending the encounter with the giant. Now when that giant wanders out of his mountain cave, a party best be ready to take him on because it will be a fairly tough fight depending on whether he is elite, with a group, or a solo. 4E seems to have had alot more thought put into the coneptual idea of what an encounter should be like, much more thought than previous editions. I'm sold on 4E. It's a good game that is alot of fun to play. It does a good job of making an encounter feel tough and epic with half the necessary creatures and no need to stack a bad guy with a ton of magic items to make him effective.</blockquote>
