[QUOTE="Goumindong, post: 4384787, member: 70874"] First off, you are wrong, DnD was never robust enough to handle a simulation Second off. Simulations are single player endeavors. They involve no players, only DMs. If you want to pretent you're a fairy princess or talking brocolli or in a conan and gandalf buddy movie you're perfectly welcome to do so. All minions are are another tool that DM's can use to enhance the players roleplaying experience, whatever it is they want to roleplay. Once you start taking the system and applying it to NPCs acting for/against NPC's it breaks down, just as they all have. Heck, 4e is probably better in this regard than others(at least when simulating large combats). I mean, in 3e fighting a wizard meant he says "i win the game" essentially, so everyone would become wizards or clerics and everyone would go hunting monsters for XP and then living like kings off their WBL and their 1/day travelers feasts...
