Just curious: what's everyone's time zones? I'm East Coast.

Cruciger approaches the other passengers gathered on the dock. "Good morning, such as it is. Are any of you locals to this place? For the first time in my life, I seem to lack direction."

Cruciger Vulpes waits for the boat to come to a full stop before stepping uncertainly onto the dock. The smell on the air makes him wince. A lean and wiry elf, he has a face full of lupine features framed beneath a loose crown of reddish hair that drops slightly below his shoulders. He can't...

I'd be okay with that. I'd rather get a trickle of material that's well thought out, balanced, worthwhile, than an avalanche of junk that is poorly written, unbalanced, and ridiculous.

Maybe build on the glow ability? Something like, once per day or some such, it can flash brightly when it strikes a foe, blinding it?

I'm fine to start but no worries if the consensus is to wait.

Just updated my sheet. All the technical stuff is there. Don't really have a backstory other than the barebones stuff. Mind if I come up with it as I go?

You're right. There was a transcription error. I'll fix it. Good eye. Thanks.

Any restrictions on race, etc? Was thinking of going with a Wood Elf Druid.

Well, your loss might be my gain! :D

Great. I will pore over my 5E materials tonight and put together a character.

Interested! Been itching to try out 5E. No idea what I'd play yet but it would probably be something vanilla-- maybe an MU of some sort. Got a spot open?

There has to be some decoupling because, mechanically, NPCs/monsters serve a different purpose with different responsibilities than PCs. Ideally, the system should supply mechanisms to move creatures back and forth-- what they tried to do with ECLs I guess-- but I think that's much easier said...

Very cool. It's sounds like you did an awesome job.

My encounters were linked as well. My first encounter was exploration of an area surrounding a ruined temple and the second encounter was combat at the temple itself.

Okay so, for example, what would your PC Medusas look like?

So how would you account for the fact that, mechanically, PCs and NPCs are not identical? A PC is meant to be played with its ability use spread and managed over the length of a session (or multiple sessions) whereas an NPC/monster is generally meant to go all-in during a single encounter.

My stab at an answer would be that while all the other medusas spend their days practicing their medusa-ness, PC medusa is out adventuring and gaining her class abilities. This is, I think, what is being said above and I agree. I'm not sure how I would handle a PC wanting to level their...

I might do something with mine once I hear something one way or another.
