Indeed. But I intend to train my players to think differently. Being a veteran of RQ uberskilled combats, where nothing seems to happen for several rounds and then someone suddenly explodes, I'd like to layout a few tactical options that makes for more exciting combat.
eg.
Having trouble hitting your opponent?
Trick them.
Are you smarter than him? Try a trick of wits.
Is your POW higher? Try a intimidation.
Are you faster than him? Try a feint.
Having trouble hurting your opponent?
Gang up
etc, etc.
Not sure if the original intention of this thread was to make light of 4E, or to actually take stuff from it, but I think I'm going to start some new threads.
Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for the new printing of BRP, as almost all my gaming stuff is in storage.
