Basic Problem: How do I deal with the "I'll just scout ahead a bit" problem. How do I do justice to the scout characters while not allowing the rest of the party to become bored, rowdy, and ultimately unhappy? It has happened a dozen times in the past three campaigns: The GM has set up a castle...

1) Classes (I like S'Mon's 50% first, hand tapper off by half, except I'd change the distribution to be around 3rd level.) (I envision a somewhat lower-powered DnD game, since DnD seems to fall apart at 12th level. My experience in my games as GM and player, so YMMV. My next campaign will slow...

DM's Delema Resolved Thanks for everyone's input. I value it, and it helped me fashion a satisfying adventure. First, I toned down the fey queen's stance a bit. Her original position was rather strict: give yourself up to me, Elf Ranger. This would go against his chaotic good alignment in both...

OK, I think I see what you're driving at. Let's look the options: 1) The PCs bargin with the queen, and the upcoming fight gets real lop-side and short. The cost: a deal with the devil. 2) The PCs won't bargin with her, and the upcoming fight becomes real lop-sided and short, but aginst the...

Again, thanks for the feedback. The game session is next week, next Thursday. I am considering having not the inquisition but rather the shadowmen spying on the Ranger and the Fey Queen. The fey later attack the PCs (because they are paid to) with the jealous and vindictive Fey Queen exacting...

First, sorry for taking so long to replies. I’ve been reading, but haven’t had a chance to reply until now. Second, I’ve pulled my wife into to this discussion. She is a player, but is willing to put blinders on and play dumb later, to help me make the right choices now. If Janta posts, then...

SPOILER: My Cormyr Burning players probably ought not read this thread. I am facing a crisis: the logic of my game situation has placed my party in a very bad position, and I think they're likely to all die if I don't intervene. They are out numbered and being hunted by a superior foe which...

I'd recommend not worrying about it. I am playing a dwarf with two waraxes in a sort of magic intensive game. At low levels relitive to armor class, the -4 is a problem. At higher levels, you need a shield not to get hit, or you need want to fight with the weapon two-handed to double your power...

Have you considered a dramatic/encountered based resolution, focused on character actions. I will be running big battle in about two weeks, so this is more or less what I have in mind: I think if it as a microcosm/macrocosm sort of thing. If the PCs do well, their side does well. It might be...
