[QUOTE="Dice4Hire, post: 5206286, member: 55066"] About critical hits. D&D is generally notthat kind of game. Sure there are crits, but they have low effects, though in 4E at higheer levels, they can be a lot of daamge. In genral D&D does nto want things to oswingy, with one high level opponent going down from one hit (like the proverbial hit tothe head many systems have). If you hit it, something dies. Hit the eye= blind, Hit the knee=lame. Might work for some, but D&D jsut does not use it. Heroic subsystems are not as needed as much as D&D is more heroic all over. D&D is designed to be heroic and cool every round, not just in limited circumstances, like grittier games. But again, the systems are here, just not as strong as some systems. 4E and action points (and paragon paths) are a great example. D&D has both of these systems, and has had them for quite a while. Not as strong as some systems, but still there, so it seem hard to say they do nto exist. [/QUOTE]
