Sometimes you run across something that needs to be communicated beyond just a thread in a forum.

Here’s one:

Best 4E combats seem to have:

• terrain that forces decisions and provides at least 3 choices
• movement really matters
• big encounters need big solo targets and groups of small targets
• lower monster HP, defenses
• up monster damage, actions
• avoid conditions that lower damage or negate actions
• be careful of overdoing on going damage
• end fights that are foregone conclusions

extended rests after 3 encounters (regardless if it is across multiple sessions or if an in game day passes)
