[QUOTE="Sphyre, post: 4487518, member: 55424"] 3e compared to 4e is a huge nerf bat (a much needed one, but one indeed). I have no interest in making combat even less deadly. If anything, I'd probably vote for more lethal combat in the next ediiton of the game, but until then i'm going to enjoy playing 4e with nerf bats and pillow fights. In fact, I think being able to pull off non-broken combos where you keep a solo stunned for 1-3 rounds is built into the system of where that solo can survive it and still pose a threat. I actually like that they accounted for this sort of thing in their design. No longer, do you have to worry about your BBEG dying to an anti-climactic save or die. But of course, you still do you have to disallow broken combos. I find it funny that my players fear solo monsters, but regular monsters aren't feared. Maybe they just feel hopeless when they deal only 5% of the monster's hp on a hit. [/QUOTE]
