[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7035702, member: 6704184"] This! Yes! And honestly, we often used skill challenges as part of combat, combined with the ease of play, to free ourselves to focus *more* on the story and less on tactics. And the little fluff bits on every single power are cool, too, because it gives every power a snippet of lore to either use directly or as inspiration, which leads to even more story driven roleplaying. And we all get so confused and frustrated when we see someone criticize 4e as "all about tactics" or "not a roleplaying game", because 4e helped many of my players come out of heir roleplaying shell, and the rest of us roleplay more now than we used to. When we do cooperate tactically, it is *in character*! And to risk being a broken record, I do wish 4e has expanded on the improvisation advice. More detail on doing things like improvising the use of existing powers, creating and training new powers, etc. [/QUOTE]
