[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4043826, member: 2011"] I won't go into all of the reasons I do not like the 4E death and dying rules (I did that in other threads), but one thing I find weird is that the PC at -1 has the same chances of death and survival as the PC at -50. It's a bit strange that just due to die rolls, the guy at -50 and 1 point away from actual death (with 102 hit points) who could not survive one round of the Pit Fiend's Fire Aura can suddenly be at 25% (i.e. wake up and not be bleeding) whereas another PC with the same total hit points at -1, 50 points away from actual death who could sit in the Pit Fiend's Fire Aura for 9 more rounds could die (i.e. bleed to death) in 3 rounds. That is so bizarre and non-intuitive. Quite frankly, WotC appears to adding quite a few inferior rules, just for the sake of simplicity when there are other rules just as simple that they could use, but do not have nearly as many issues with them. IMO. [/QUOTE]
