3 Players - 6 Characters
Interesting Thread as it reflects many of the problems I have in DMing.
When 4e was new I started a (Test) Campaign with 3 Players.
As I wasn't dure about scaling the Adventure to 3 Chars I decided to keep a
NPC with the group most of the time.
After playing through...
Where does all that money come from ?
To put things clear:
- I was a supporter of 4e on the first spot
- I even like it more after one year of playing
- I played 1st 2nd and 3rd before
I really like a fantasy world that has some credibility
I don't think that a realsistic combat system is...
No Minions without Solos
Ahh the first post in this thread that makes sense to me.
I for myself had a much harder time to accept Solos than Minions (and so did my players)
at least until I realized their Abovementioned connection.
While in 3e there was only the Diagonal of the Hp / to Hit...
The following changes I made on the fly after my players took agrid with them.
I made the elven spy ninaran an actual villain.
Agrid tells the players everything he knows, as he expects to be killed by ninaran the
moment they appear with him in Winterhaven. But my players lied to him and did't...
My Vote for Loki
I think you're quite right jeriatric, but in my opinion your'e Interpretation of the
text rather leads to the same conclusion as Loki's.
Because in the first part of the text there is nothing written that limits the engagement to the very turn when the DC was cast, you...
Simulation of economy
Actually 3.5 was a very realistic simulation of an economy at least until
characterlevel 10. I once did calculations on income according to the profession, craft and other skills and even including all phb spells up to level 5 and I found there is only 1 spell that was...
Make it 500 pages
Actually I thought of reissuing the original PHB anew each year
with all erratas, all improvements, all changes and and all extensions
that make it core worked into the volume.
Maybe there should be a limit to something 500 pages and 50 Dollars a volume.
Of course there...
Last time we discussed the new editions stuff in our D&D party,
I came up with a suggestion of which I thought It might be rather exotic.
But in the end we all agreed, that that would be the thing we would really
want, and that everybody at our table would luckily spend his money for:
WotC...
Fluff of the DM
As a player since AD&D (never played BECMI) I find the discussion above very interesting,
but to my experience the factor DM is far more distinctive for any game fluff,
than the different editions.
If you have a DM who forbids everything that is not explicitly allowed by the...
This exactly reflects my opinion about 4e, the 1-1-1-1 movement is the only bad rule I can see so far. (maybe the automatic crit may prove problematic too, but I don't know enough by now
about the system as a whole to really commit myself)
5 minute mage
I think in a good crafted (or at least good mastered) adventure the 5 minute mage never standed any chance.
If the encounter is a solitaire one it's ok that it has no impact on others by resting.
If an encounter is part of an adventure the opponents should get a serious...
