Each of you has reached 4th level. As a reminder, hit points are tabulated per your choice, either [B]average[/B] per 5e PHB (e.g., 1d8 = 5 hp), or [B]roll[/B]. If you roll, you get what you roll, no re-rolls. Please limit yourselves to material in the 5e PHB. Multiclassing and feats are available.

[B][U]As I get back into DMing full-time and prepare to run a new long-term campaign, I'm seeking your feedback on these things[/U]:[/B] 1. Was the point buy sufficient at character generation? Would you have preferred more points to play with so you had a better build? Something different entirely? 2. How did the most recent combat go? Did you like updates after each character's turn? Or do you prefer the old system, where everyone posts actions at will which are then synthesized into one longer adjudication? 3. Was the map updated frequently enough during the most recent combat? Too frequently (were the maps a visual distraction)? 4. How's the formatting for the combat posts? Do you like the title that annotates the start of a new round? Should the initiative order be included in each combat post? Do you like the initiative order to go at the top or the bottom of the post? 5. Do you like knowing the monsters' hp? 6. Do you like individual or group initiative? 7. How's the format of the combat maps? Anything distracting on there? And, specifically, does a combat map need a background, or is plain white ok? Were the alphanumeric grid squares a help? 8. Other. Let me know if something's on your mind. [/QUOTE]
