[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4927817, member: 5202"] I've had stunt rulings in prior editions where the DM gave far too much (or too little) damage for what we all felt was appropriate. Page 42 gives a handy guideline for that damage. It also gives the encouragement to fudge things a bit and not keep everything rigid, which is one of the things a DMG should do. Advice on running the game. Imaro>You are an experienced gamer tho. There are people that 4E will be their first game. Having a page like Pg 42 will add a lot to their starting view and give them a firmer base to stand on when making those rulings. I can only see this as a good thing. There are plenty of things that are in a RPG that someone will always say isn't needed b/c "anyone can just make that up", but that isn't the point. Either a)you shouldn't have to make it up or b)there should be guidelines to help you make it up in a fair and balanced fashion. 4E goes for B. [/QUOTE]
