In both editions, a cunning DM and players can overcome this weakness, but it does take some effort.I realize this is contentious, but I actually think 4e can do an AD&D style dungeon crawl like Dragon Mountain just as well as older editions...perhaps even better if the design of monsters and skill challenges were really pushed. So far the closest I've seen to a 4e design paradigm encouraging old school play is Revenge of the Iron Lich.</blockquote>
