[QUOTE="carborundum, post: 5500938, member: 49284"] I must say, Shil's correspondence has really thrown my players out of their comfort zone - for which I am eternally grateful :-) They're much more metagamey than my previous group, and prone to saying things like "Are you [I]sure[/I] he sees me? I'd just like to mention that I'm 125 feet away and I believe those things have 120 foot darkvision." (The PC in question has knowledge skills in the +25 range, so he can justify it) Still, I was getting a bit annoyed at times. I tend to be more "If I say it, it's true." I'm slowly weaning my group off the Monster Manuals and DMGs at the table approach, greatly assisted by throwing ideas cribbed from this campaign at them :-) My background is 1E and AD&D, while they are more 3E. I make stuff up, they expect monsters to follow the same rules as players. Now I just let my beasties do what I want and write it down as a custom monster feat or whatever! [/QUOTE]
