It's a good addition I actually like 4e combat it seems very well thought out and tons of fun with all the different powers.<br /><br />It's just that it seemed to constrain the roleplay. There were times when I wanted to jump up on tables and kick guys in the teeth but why do that when I have an encounter power that says attack with 2 weapon dice. <br />In combat we have these amazing powers like being able to teleport, fly and turn invisible but they can only be used under special conditions. It's like we were demigods but only when in combat.<br /><br />I just want to fly over this gate or teleport across that river. Nope only when the keywords on the power card are met.

If I was rich, I'd have an entire house devoted to products from www.dwarvenforge.com<br /><br />At the same time, I was really aiming for the old-style in-your-mind combat, since I think that's where the heart of D&D lies, but I wasn't a good enough DM to work around the very squares-based rules of 4E.<br /><br />One day I'll travel up and sit in on a session of Rogue Trader.Matty Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279278849734392434noreply@blogger.com
