[QUOTE="M.L. Martin, post: 4924218, member: 4086"] But can it stop bayonets and black-powder firearms? :-) We have documented evidence that [i]real[/i] rulebooks can. :D ;) I thought this was obvious. 4E is all about breaking the game down and rebuilding it to do one thing--fantasy adventuring--very well. That means that some things that previous editions did [i]per accidens[/i] got downplayed or left by the wayside. For some folks, this reduces clutter and distractions; for others, it takes away tools they could use to do things outside the assumed norm. [/QUOTE]
