We both draw on a huge amount of experience in that regard, experience that a new DM will lack. My guess is that WotC's goal is to write an encounter-creation system that will make that lack of experience less of a stumbling block. Changing the resource management paradigm for the player characters goes hand in hand with that goal.No doubt - but I did say that the pre-designed encounters were *part* of the reason for Pathfinder's popularity, not the only reason.And clearly, for at least some 4e early adopters, the storylines/plots are not sufficient reason to stick with Pathfinder. Certainly plenty of people have expressed disappointment with Paizo's move specifically because they want the Pathfinder adventures playable without having to convert them to 4e.</blockquote>
