[QUOTE="Shadeydm, post: 5995609, member: 44243"] Hopefully I can clarify this for the "what about hit points" crowd. When I sit down to watch a Sci Fi movie Faster than Light Travel is often an assumption that I have to accept in such movies. I know its not possible but its so widely used in Sci Fi that its not immersion shattering for me. It does not follow however that you can pile layer after layer of silly or arbitrary impossibilities and I should accept them just because i can overlook FtLT one has nothing to do with the other if you pile enough straws on the camels back there is invariably a tipping point where immersion is lost as is interest in the movie. Similarly when I sit down to play D&D hit points have always been there much like FtLT however it does not follow that I have to swallow silliness like encounter power being attacks that depend upon a unique once per battle opening or jellies being knocked prone or quantum wounding or the mind bending effects of CaGI.
