What I'd probably do first in a situation like this is talk to the druid's player. Any mechanic disadvantage will likely dampen the player's enjoyment in playing the character - unless there's hope on the horizon for the effect to be lifted in mid-term once the group gains acess to more...

I disagree. As a spellcaster your best tactical option isn't always to lob the highest-level spells you have access to - nor in fact necessarily to cast attack spells at all. With some tactical thinking and teamwork, you may be much more efficacious overall by opening up tactical options for...

That's the plan. :)

I've never had a problem with lower-level PCs getting sent to do stuff. As random user points out, it's precisely what happens on a daily in any modern RL company. It's all about delegating tasks and responsibilities, freeing up more powerful and more skilled people to deal with the Really...

I remembered that perfectly well, of course. That's precisely why I put that warning there. I was thinking, a bit of initial apprehension never hurt anyone ... :D Hey! XP. Fabulous. Thank you.

2nd level, indeed. My apologies. And you aren't plotting to take over my world, of course not. Merely to save it from me. ;)

:eek: Agreed. Yeah. The GMs in that particular game also forbade players from reading the rulebooks for the game. Any rulebook at all, including the rules governing your own character. And then they were appalled when you dared figure out some of the rules by the way they usually ran...

Heh. You're welcome. Oh we knew all right. My character didn't, of course, not until it was too late. (There was a reason behind the name I gave him ... :p )

Seven PCs actually. I believe you are forgetting my druid. Again. Sigh ... :D Killed by lemons??? Well, if that isn't adding insult to injury. I thought they must have been crocodiles, at least. :mad: :p Ha, we'll be back! Er, I mean ... they will be back. All in good time. And...

Here's a little scene that randomling (as Saphie's player) and I (as Helm) came up with before last Sunday. It was originally meant to be an intro for my new character. Little did we suspect that it was destined to stand in place of an obituary for both of us. :D Content warning: As the...

No no no. Wait. Elves and goblins aren't Teutonic either. You mean myths from the British Isles. Teutonic are Germans. Like me. :p Have you looked at Oriental Aventures? Pseudo-Asian feel. There's Rokugan setting for that somewhere.

I think the first thing I'd do as a GM if I wanted to cut back on bad-luck PC kills is make combat rolls behind a screen. I don't, the groups I've GMed for appear to prefer it that way - and there go some characters. Some other techniques I've witnessed being used, with varying success...

I note down a lot of stuff when I prepare for a session - ideas, bits of stats, a typical NPC response that pops into my head, fragments of maps. Once I get everything into order and it makes sense to me, my notes for the session grow shorter and shorter. NPC stats, a scribbled map (usually...

Oh, oohh yes. Humans are essential to me. Though I dunno what the gods have to do with it all. And of course, everybody, feel free to play insect, furry-headed two-legged beastmen or crystalline aliens all you like. Just leave me out of it. :)

In a monthly game I started running when 3e first came out, I've had one TPK when the PCs, heavily STR-drained, waded into the fight with the BBEG. (Shrug.) After that, roughly two years without a single character death. Partly that's due to the style of the game - that particular group loves...

A friend of mine who's a judge says that she always knows she has found the right balance for a settlement suggestion when both parties to the case writhe and grumble. :) The channeler in my game doesn't seem to have a problem. Then again, he's only 2nd level yet.

Well, it certainly is the first time I've seen a PC in a game of mine formulate a plan for taking over the world before she could be sure she'd live to 2nd level. Complete with long-term military strategy laid out and all that. :) So going by that, yes, Midnight appears to encourage...

Available classes are barbarian, fighter, rogue as per PHB, plus the three Midnight classes: - Channeler (spontanoeus caster, spell point system); - Defender (unarmed warrior without the supernatural nonsense a PHB monk gets but better BAB progression and better straight combat abilities) -...

Cool writeup of a cool session. Loved reading it. :)

Confirmed. Hi Simon. :) Though I'll say I haven't seen you as an ancient red dragon yet ... ;) Oh yes. I've seen DMs run exclusively male worlds. In which, to top it off, every single sentient creature would hit on every single female PC, all the time. When I changed to a male character...
