[QUOTE="Dragonbait, post: 4586284, member: 29182"] Grapple was a huge thing in 3E. Some encounters were built around a monster being able to grapple PCs and lock them down for many rounds while another picks them off. I have not GMed 4E yet and have not run into a grappler as a player BUT I know that grapple is not as game breaking as it was. You might have to beef up encounters that relied heavily on a Large monster or larger to occupy the whole group. Also, on the Red Hand of Doom (Spoiler tags added):[Spoiler] The first encounter area is a keep that supplies PCs with a rod of ressurection amongst other items provided they search for it. The gp value of the treasure was intentionally far greater than that which is supposed to be provided for a reason: there is little time to rest between encounters during the campaign.
