[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5710630, member: 22779"] Can you give an example of how the narrative of a serious wound, that is not fatal, has been used in your game? See, in my experience, the game presumes that the group has access to healing magic of some sort. So, in all the years I've played, serious wound has never really played much of an issue. Probably because we never worried too much about the healing times in 1e (heh :p). But, even beyond 1e, since you almost always had a cleric in the group, "serious, potentially fatal wound" was never a narrative element. See, I think your "gaping hole" is a very, very small corner case that almost never comes up in games. So far, we've seen exactly one example of narrative that is diffiucult to do in 4e - a bleeding head wound. If it was a "gaping hole" why aren't I getting buried in narratives? Then again, "4e prevents me from using a small, corner case example of narrative" just doesn't have the same ring does it? Doesn't quite roll off the tongue. :p (and yes, that was meant as tongue in cheek, not snark) [/QUOTE]
