Wow... in a way you managed to finish the books before George R.R. Martin ! :) How did the White Walkers act ?

The series has been faithful to the book... some dialogues coming completely from the book... I recommend it. As for the RPG would be interested in knowing about how some campaigns ran

That would be a handful... with multiple PC characters with very conflicting interests... we tried out with only 1 house... can't see how you would manage a game not involving 1 or many houses like you mentioned.

Is it possible to play GoT without a Ar Magica approach where all members are part of a house or houses very close together ? Otherwise the GM would have to have separate scenes for most players or players mini-teams.

Why would specialization be a surprise ? Our world is like that... Westeros too. A good warrior with excessive time spent in becoming a scholar will lose out too a specialist. Curious to hear more about people's campaigns at the Macro level... our group all started as members of a minor house...

I'm one more who thinks Wizards were neutered and correctly so as far as game balance is concerned. I know most americans play in higher levels and so the Wizard tended to be overpowered. 3rd edition and prior it was understood that the Wizard sucked until around 8th lvl... and that the payoff...

I don`t feel Wizards have to be so cautious as in previous editions. With leather armor and high INT you get good AC. If anyone does hit you have the Shield Utility. My wizard stays close... and only once got bloodied. If I get hit... that means the defenders are saving their healing surges...

Sorry for the insistence... we haven`t had much chance of testing these new classes and races in my group. Also my experience in D&D is that anyone trying to operate too forward... usually gets badly beaten or killed. Also as a player of a Wizard... I find that its quite easy to just shift and...

I understand the threat value... its a good way to put it. Still will a lone Avenger drop the artillery faster than the Brute had one more striker been hitting the Brute ? What is important is how many attacks the group suffers... and ganging up on a single target means it drops faster and...

Still is it better having the Avenger solo going after artillery in the back... or have a striker helping the defenders wipe out the brutes and soldiers ? It seems to me it would be more practical killing quicker the front line in order to get the shooters in the back.... Avengers would be...

Does the avenger have enough damage output to effectively knockout artillery and mages ? Usually woudn`t it be better to have someone helping to concentrate and kill enemy tough guys before heading to take down the ranged attacks ?

I see controllers as more of a minion control role. In fact they have few effect spells overall. Cleaning up the minion that clutter and make fighters waste precious attacks is the controlling role. As a damage dealer my War Wizard dishes out more damage than any striker. Even if my AoE spells...

I feel the same problem as the topic author. If someone says they will build a Druid... I don't really know what that means in terms of power and group synergy... no idea at all. Its many new classes and books making a simple understanding of the classes styles almost impossible.

I find the Paladin a bit underpowered compared to the overpowered Fighter. The Wizard seems very good... my Human Wizard easily does more damage output than either of the strikers.

So its more like a roll twice perception check feat ? But works for two people. What would be more beneficial ? Sharing rolls or skill result ? Sharing rolls seems to help PCs with similar skill levels ? While sharing skill results benefits the low skill PC ?
