[QUOTE="Jib, post: 3785865, member: 38074"] Combat is going to happen in each and every D&D game. But not every session. Yeah we all get excited about crushing the bad guys but sometimes the non-violent theft of an item, the seduction of a noble, or the recruitment of an army to defeat the dark lord can be just as fun (or more so if you ask some of the guys I game with). Sure the books should help you with the number crunching and details. But that doesn't make a character! The best part of D&D is YOU the PLAYER make a character that is an active part of the STORY told by you DM. You have the hero role of Aragon. You solve the mystery like Brother Cadfael. You learn the secrets behind your origins like Harry Potter. You out wit your rivals like Captain Jack Sparrow. The game is a lot more than kill the Orc for its 7 silver pieces and move on. If you just kill things and move on boredom will set in (might take awhile but it will). [/QUOTE]
