D&D 4E Life Points - 4E Mechanic?

[That One Guy]

One of my DDXP DMs did the same thing. Mechanically, the rule was identical to the final one, except that life points weren't recovered when you got healed. We got a lot closer to dying than we should have (I was one shot away from death by kobold minion).

I second the comment about delegates, though; I was at a demo on Saturday, and the DM made mistakes that any of use with the preview rules sheet could use to prove him wrong. It was horrible--I could have DMed that game much better than he did.

But, was the game fun anyway? I'll be going to another demo, will be run by the same dm (a rather anti-rp fellow... which is a total aside). The reason I'll be going back? Because even with his lack of rules knowledge, 4e was that much fun to play. Also, I want to try and see if I can pull something awesome out of the paladin (but a warlock is my heart...).
