Defeat & Consequences
If at any time your Health drops to 0 or lower, you are defeated and removed from the combat. The opponent that defeated you decides what happens to you. Common choices include any of the following. Remember, defeat by an attack using a Vicious weapon always results in death.

Death
This outcome is the most common when defeated. You are dead. Depending on the era in which you play as well as where you died, your corpse might stir into unlife… if you believe in that sort of thing.

Maimed
Your opponent might leave you alive but gives you something by which you will remember him. Examples include a wicked scar across the face or the loss of an eye, thumb, or some other body part. Permanently reduce one ability of your opponent’s choice by one rank.

Ransom
Your opponent holds you or some possession for ransom. In tournaments, ransom usually means the victor gains the loser’s armor and horse. In war, it might mean captivity until the loser’s family can offer up sufficient coin or a valuable hostage of their own.

Take the Black
Those who see honor in service to the Night’s Watch may allow their enemies to take the black and join the rangers on the Wall. For many, this is a fate worse than death, as it means being stripped of status, family, and worldly possession. For those who value life above such minor things, taking the black offers a chance to live.

Unconscious
You are knocked out and left for dead. You awaken 2d6 hours later. While unconscious, you are helpless and may be killed or eaten by someone or something else. This fate is often the same as death.

Ransom
Your opponent holds you or some possession for ransom. In tournaments, ransom usually means the victorgains the loser’s armor  and ho

Perda em questoões de equlibrio entre casters e non casters sim, mas não em questão de fluffl e roleplay.

There is a challenge in making sure that higher-level non-spellcasters have a good variety of unique, and compelling options available to them (if the wizard can fly, teleport, and travel the planes, what does the rogue do?), but that's something we solve by making available those creative options; again, parity of compelling options, not symmetry of mechanics. I think we see some great examples of compelling mechanics for non-spellcasters at higher levels in 4E, especially in epic destinies. Take the Thief of Legend's ability to steal intangible things, or to basically be so good of a thief that he can steal something and have it appear in a place of his choosing.

Esta parte me deixou mais animado e em fez acreditar que pelo menos eles viram o problema.

Se as mecânicas que eles criarem para os não conjuradores forem boas e apresentarem opções interessantes, vai ser um grande ponto para o D&DN.

Espero que eles atentem para o escopo de utilidade dessas opções. Voar não é só sair do chão, tem dezenas de aplicações, desde viajar mais rápido até invadir uma torre que só janelas a 10m do chão ou ficar fora do alcance dos monstros durante o combate. Já roubar um item etéreo, o exemplo que eles deram para o ladino, apesar de ser legal é muito restrito.

Vamos aguardar e ver qual caminho eles tomarão, mas já me deixou mais animado.
