[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5227367, member: 16069"] I still haven't read any of the errata, except perhaps if it appears when I look up stuff in the compendium. DCs too high- then fix them, if you're not bright then after the first Skill Challenege is failed, if you're bright then before the players even get to the Skill Challenge. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but, 'I still can't forgive', a little dramatic don't you think- nobody got killed, they fixed the problem (or you fixed it), the world kept on turning. To the original poster, get an Insider account, no need to buy the books, take a look at the excerpts if it's stuff you want to read then buy the book, if not meh. It used to take me 5 to 10 minutes to throw together a Level 1 PC I wanted to play. However many supplements later and, still 5 to 10 minutes. Oh and I'm a DM by trade, I tend to plan my sessions ahead of time and get together 1 sheet of A4 paper with the name of the good guys/bad guys (or the laptop) for each encounter ahead of time. I manage to track all conditions et al without breaking a sweat. When I play with kids (ages approx. 13 and below) I hand out cards with 'Slowed', 'Immobilised' et al and then ask them to show me their cards before they start their turns. I realise it gets more complex with higher level encounters (I've been there), often I just get the cards back out... Don't get me wrong I make mistakes every now and then but the game goes on. Options are all gravy- Wizards need to eat, I'll keep buying the books I like and reading the fragments of them that interest me, now if they could make scenarios to the standard of Paizo...
