They're huge get out of jail cards in that it makes it too easy to bypass many situations that have a lot of potential to be interesting.

There is indeed potential for some dramatic story there... That’s an interesting point, I must admit I never considered it like that. There is indeed potential for some dramatic story there…

About the 4e disease DCs: I actually like them being that high. It might lead to an interesting choice of trying to reach a town quick and spend money on a Cure Disease, or it gives the person trained in the Heal skill an extra chance to use it.

Having rescued a regional Lord from some monsters, they were invited back to his demesne for some celebrations etc. While there, the PC's found out that there were several things going wrong. The characters woke to hear a snuffling and grunting; they arose, and found the bedroom of the Lord's son locked from the outside, and sounds of a wild beast on the rampage within! So, of course, they barged in and slew the beast... which then turned back into the son. The PC's were not popular after that. I actually used a Wereboar in one of my better games.
