    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    We have the luxory of being able to play about every three weeks, and then having most of the day for it - usually we hit the 12-hour mark. That alone is a feat worth mentioning at our ages :) I made Caela a Monk 2 /sorcerer 4 / Enlightened fist 9. I also boosted her stats a bit. I am actually...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    Yeah - players are not rational that way. I am not sure if my players will investigate another burned down house in Seaquen, it did happen a lot already in that town :). And if they don't - well I don't see why anyone at Lyceum would bring it up, they have no clue Paradim is involved, so it...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    Sure, feel free to IM me with it :) I thought about Paradim and how he would have ended up there, and I settled on the fact that he must have been run out of towns before. This means he must have left things behind before in his life, so I decided not to give him a spellbook, but give him a...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    My plan for chapter 5 - which should have started this saturday, but we had to cancel sadly - is to start off softly. They will travel to Seaquen at the end of chapter 4, where they will notice that part of the town is being rebuilt after yet another fire. If they investigate, they will find out...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    Interestingly enough the missing girls was also something that caught their attention, however, the green dragon was even more tempting, and they spent their time running to and from the swamp and in the end didn't get around to finding the real culprits. So Paradim was captured by the town...

    WotBS War of the Burning Sky - Balan Diplomacy Skill +26?

    It is the synergies that allows his skill to reach 26. When I played through that part, it annoyed me that the skill difficulties (in 3.5) were laughable. Even without the players being able to help Balan with his check, he will succeed in making the indifferent and unfriendly friendly and the...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    I would love to hear your input on chapter 5 in general, as any input is good to put Things into perspective. In my campaign chapter 3 actually worked out very well. I used an old trick that I have used before with great success. During the war council session I had prepared the speeches for...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    I agree with your reasoning and have been thinking a bit along the same line, i.e. the Perform DC etc. In my game it is too late to do anything about it in the current adventure. Also, they still have no idea about what Trillith really are or that they will be recurring during the adventure...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    Not a bad idea, depending on how the final encounter is going to play out. I will keep it in mind. I plan to make the final scene as dramatic as possible, with the players arriving in the middle of the Kings speech. Giving them a cinematic build up to the Chaos erupting around them, with...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    Thanks for the reply. It is actually nice to get some feedback, that backs the feeling I had about the statistics. So far I have let the stats be as they are - on the easy side for a few reasons: My Group only consists of three players, and rather than having a extra cumbersome npc with them, I...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    RangerWickett: Thanks for the replies, it is good to hear that you thought about it during the creation of the campaign. Hirou: I agree, optimization is not something most adventures can handle - and in the case of my campaign I have players that are somewhat optimized due to the fact that they...

    WotBS Game balance and experience with potential adjustments

    In my campaign (WOTBS 3.5) we are currently halfway through the Mad King's Banquet getting close to the battle at Otharil Vale. So far the game balance has been fine overall, but I have been noticing a few things that make me Wonder if the later chapters are going to need a little overhaul with...

    WotBS Campaign seting, Deities

    I kinda cheated and tapped into the elven Pantheon. I chose to let the symbol be of Solonor Thelandira, the god of hunting instead.

    WotBS Experiences with the bonus adventures in 3.5 complete campaign

    Thanks for the replys. Most of the points address my concerns, specifically the timing is an issue. The XP part is something that is easier to handle, as we have agreed to use a rather loose structure for it. I do like the idea with different Groups, but not sure how well the players will...

    WotBS Campaign seting, Deities

    I play the campaign in 3.5 and I have used the Greyhawk Pantheon - I found an expanded list on the Internet, and chose some gods that (more or less) fit the descriptions given in the books

    WotBS Experiences with the bonus adventures in 3.5 complete campaign

    Some time ago I bought the 3.5 complete campaign and have enjoyed playing it so far. We are more or less through part 3 - they are at the sunken prison, where we stopped the last sesssion. I have been considering throwing in the five bonus adventures as part of the main storyline, instead of...

    WotBS WotBS - Character Wealth Values?

    I agree with you that the stat blocks in the end is the lesser of the evils. What I would have liked was a page reference, to where the individual stat was. As I wrote, my work around is to have a short version at hand for whenever I need them in an encounter. Having them all grouped is nice...

    WotBS WotBS - Character Wealth Values?

    What I meant was balancing the discounts, so that suddenly the players dont get too much - but it should be doable. I was even considering making the discount variable, as to let them know how well they did in the course of the adventures, but again, it might turn the balance

    WotBS WotBS - Character Wealth Values?

    Like Cyclone I got the 3.5 edition som months ago and started running it recently. We are currently at the elven village in the fire forest. I have ended up typing a shorter version of the stats in a spread sheet, that I use while playing. The constant flipping was annoying. And it would have...
