[QUOTE="koesherbacon, post: 6267406, member: 78297"] The why is easy in this case.... They are younger gamers and simply have fun making these characters. To reply to others, I have spoken to them and they still want to include much role play and to have encounters that aren't just combat. Just because they're otpionized, doesn't mean they want to cruise through everything, they still want a challenge, which I'm going to give by providing more enemies, more traps, and haunts (which I just read over for Pathfinder). Last session we also decided to start over and almost like when playing a video game, hit reset and select the opposing side from lat time. Instead of working to stop the Drow (who were the primary enemy forces in the original idea), they're going to be working FOR them. This way, even though they're optimized, they'll have a much harder time in the world altogether. Instead of stopping the enemy from stealing important information from Almas' Grand Cathedral Library, they're going to have to be the ones to sneak in and steal it while dealing with the Eagle Knights instead of allying with them as they would have previously. I think playing as the bad guys will be more challenging since they can't get help from different factions, like they originally would have. They're not going to be able to rely on The Lantern Bearers or The Eagle Knights or the Ninth Battalion for help and will have to do it all while avoiding being caught by theses factions and other good guys. What do you think, do you think this new scenario will make a difference? Why or why not? I'll let everyone know after Thursday goes with their new characters who are the bad guys instead of the good guys. [/QUOTE]
