First Post
I ran my first D&D adventure yesterday as a GM. I've been a player for about 11 years, and I decided to give it a try from the other side of the screen.
I had my 2 players make 2 characters each, and commanded them not to have any player collusion. We ended up with 2 clerics, a fighter, and a fighter/barbarian. The toughest PC in the party turned out to be the halfling with a 20 Str and Power Attack!
I think the halfling killed 3 of my wolves by himself - and somehow the wolves never managed to succeed on their trip attacks. My monsters equipped with whirlwind attack ended up being last in initiative order, and the power-attacking fighters (the other fighter had power attack too) pulped them before they could attack once. The PCs skipped an entire level of the crypt by crawling down a hole where the floor had collapsed. And they avoided a trap by making successful spot checks and noticing the traces left by previous victims.
But we all had a good time anyway. I may run the rest of the adventure on Friday and see what else they can do to mess up my plans.
