Thanks guys, you've given me enough material to work with. :) I'm going to play her as overstating of the risks, being descriptive of the possible bad result, and being dragged forward because she fears more the feeling of being left behind. (We decided to play as close to core rules as...

That's a good place to start QuaziquestGM but the problem there is that she already was like that, and now she needs further change to her character to reflect the out of character stuff. As it may help you to help me, I'll relate her death and resurrection scenario. She died in a forest...

Last session my character levelled up while his cohort was resurrected. He moved from 11th to 12th level, while she moved from 9th to 8th, to 9th again after getting her XP. The base assumption of the XP system is that lower level characters advance swifter because they are learning harder...

Thank you FranktheDM, a good solid bit of rules analysis. :cool:

If you want to you could transplant another credible scenario and get similar results. I.e. four full strength 10th level characters in a dungeon, the rogue is distracted by opening a lock. 4 silent Shadows attack, win initiative, bash the Cleric, and she's dead. That is why I sighed when I...

He wipes Shadows. The terrain he moved to needed to be held as only a few undead had revealed their presence. He needed to use combat expertise to boost his touch AC vs any Shadows emerging from the other flank. When the Ghouls has revealed their (empty) hand to him he realised the real...

Whoops, looks like you're right about the range of turning. Oh well, damage done, we'll know better next time. ;) Obviously this correct ruling was unknown and therefore played no part in the decision making. The 'Protection from evil' +2 deflection (these are definitely non-summoned Shadows)...

Sigh... I guess I'm going to have to recount the battle before we actually discuss the rules in question. The context is much more popular than I'd have thought. :-) Ok. The 'party' consists of: - 11th level human male Paladin, defensive build - 9th level human female Cleric (25pt buy...

Our characters had spent the day battling vampires and wraiths, were exhausted of spells, and our main cleric was dead. Our sorceress ally is lost to us trapped on an unknown plane. The point of the post was, the shadows' lethal ability damage can instantly kill a <str 12 character with one...

Well, today 2 measely shadows killed my 9th level cleric cohort. :( They got the drop on her due to their stealth. 1) Shadows: One critical hit, and another hit 1) Her: no deathward due to being low on spells, and dusted only one as the other was out of position 2) Remaining Shadow: one...

Yeah, few social problems are unsolvable when people are committed to discussing things over. I've attached the draft spreadsheet frame work we're using if you're looking for a place to start. It hasn't been filled out because that's a group effort. Having not run it through practical use, I...

One root cause of the issue is that we rotate dm's, and they run sessions for a decent stretch. We each bring our own assumptions to the table and usually the differences don't matter much. Actually, the differences that sparked this thread are not major. :cool: I wouldn't get too excited and...

We've been circulating emails, and I'm very confident this will work out just fine. Just an issue of reading from the same page as it turns out. Thanks Haarkon1 and Wizardru for a couple of perceptive posts. ;-) You won't get any more spoilers from me about RttToEE, other than to say, the...

If the local lords returned with all the above our characters would be delighted. However the campaign reality is that hundreds were killed and a thousand odd fled because their was a lack of such powerful, helpful, and unemployed allies. Politically the situation is quite complex. The local...

First up – there isn’t a big problem. This was just one of those encounters where a couple of expectations clashed. Madewithletters and I have differing views of how a lord should and can act and be treated. This I think is part of a greater issue of what type of game we want, and clearly we can...

Ok, I’ll clarify a bit more of the situation as I saw it, and then outline what I see as the broader debate. (Madewithletters is the GM, and his view is an accurate account of one side of the debate.) Our PC’s are the guests within the keep, that is true. So we should be turfed out on our...

I feel your pain. :( The game punished your choice because it does not give anywhere near equal value to all abilities. When you look closely there is actually very little real choice in stats for any given character build. This is a very good reason why a player would want many good stats...

Ok, there was an encounter in today's session that raised a few eyebrows while being a lot of fun. Essentially we discussed whether my character was acting like a lord or tyrant. Back story: The heroes are 2 years into an epic quest against an evil cult that is the root cause of evil events in...

This is the best (and actually played) character I can muster - or were we after possible characters only? **** Maugrim D’Eyrie XP: 60,915 / 66,000 Male Human, Lawful Good, Reveres Uriel, Knight of Veluna 11 Init +1; Senses listen+2, spot+2, detect evil 60’ Languages Common, Celestial...

Thanks for the responses guys. :) For clarification when I talk about spellcaster impact, I'm talking about the adventure dramatically changes shape when they're not there. E.g. the teleporting Sorceroress was absent the last 2 sessions and it feels like we're 8th level again. We've become...
