They didn't have to be.I agree in large part with your analysis. I think it is too early to tell what approach will be taken with 5E - we need more play at Paragon and Epic levels before we can see the problem points in the current edition. I also hope for a middle ground, where game rules aren't jarring me out of the immersion so completely that I decide to walk out on this edition - much like I walked out of the theatre for a certain movie sequel long ago.I'm interested in your thoughts on how this relates to other parts of 4E, and if you have more detailed examples of this effect in combat.</blockquote>
