My favorite part of the Den is that when some sanctimonious moron attempts to act all high and mighty you can call them on it without fear of banning.

Doesn't happen here. If it does, its resolved a lot quicker.
Thats how rules work. That you had to house rule in some BS to do anything interesting (and apparently did it poorly) is not relevant to anyone discussing 4e. We don't know your (apparently shitty) house rules, and I doubt the majority of the RPG players do either.wrote:they all got the idea that if they didn't have a special ability that let them do something, then it could not be done.
It was so bad that I even gave them all a once per encounter power to do anything thematic appropriate for their character. They could make it up on the spot and I'd use the page 42 DMG guidelines to handle it. It was a free ability above and beyond anything they already had. Even then it was difficult to encourage them to go beyond the apparent walls 4E set up for them. More than a bit frustrating.
Which rules. The ones in the printed book where they literally erratted the entire book because they were shitty, or the post erratta ones that the entire WoTC forums are littered with fixes for because they are still shitty.That said, there were some aspects of 4E I really liked as a DM. The monster and minion rules generally were exceptional for combat purposes.
