[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4428935, member: 10177"] Not to bash 4E, but in my opinion it is moving further and further away from "realistic simulation" and just closer to being a "game". Soon arrows will be limitless as well. People are terrified of "One shot one kill" spells, so those are gone. So it makes sense that they would also demand that they be able to have 10 encounters per day, have 25 HP at first level, etc... Too few want there to be any sense of real risk or challenge, they just want to kill things and take their stuff, without sweating "survival". I mean who wants to play a game where a character they have spent hours and hours playing dies? Thats too much like someone living to being 25 and being shot and killed on the street corner. A waste of precious time/life. So put up the padded walls, pad the rocks, and ground, put on life jackets, and load up on the rubber arrows and bolts, and switch to wooden swords. Challenge is now an illusion. Hardly anyone dies now. Now PC deaths are only by accident. [/QUOTE]
