[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 3764199, member: 20740"] Some (many?) people do not want to continuously rely on magic items to make their character even mildly functional and useful. Since 4e is getting rid of this atrocious mentality (at least they say they are) it makes sense to ignore this as an option. The thing is a game designed to handle that type of action is not going to work very well at all for other types of games. On the other hand, a game designed like 4e sounds like it's going to be designed can handle the major scene blockbuster action just as well. Why not go with the method that does NOT give a big middle finger to half your audience. As DM, why am I being told by the rules that I have to make dungeons crawling with dangerous, random, pointless, wandering monsters or else the game will break? As you may have guessed, I try to avoid it. Adventurers should spend their time adventuring, not hiding and sleeping all the time. [/QUOTE]
