[QUOTE="Final Attack, post: 4151917, member: 61181"] This is entirely based on players, and how they choose to play their game. But my players got a little silly with any at will ability they had ... I could have played heavy handed DM and just unfairly restrict their power or just shut them down. But I don't "roll" that way. I ran a 4th ed adventure, and one of my players the Eldrin Ranger was just excessively teleporting everywhere. To what end? Well, generally being a jerk. The answer to almost any sort of bad situation that occurred he though he would be able to teleport out from. Me, "Men crowd around the gambling table. One says a small pray with his hands clutching 2 dice." Eldrin, "I teleport behind him and go "BOO!"" Me, "His hands go up in a fright and the dice fly over his shoulder. The man standing next to you punches you in the shoulder and says 'what are you doing!'" Eldrin, "I punch him in the face." ~Bar brawl begins with the Eldrin severly outnumbered. As my players do ... *sigh* ... dispite all warning. Turn the fight lethal. He kills one. Gets put in jail. Him, "Put me in jail? Well I'll just teleport through the wall." Me, "You must be able to see where your going." Him, "There is a window? or I wait till someone comes to feed me." Me, "You have a bag over your head and all appendages are bound. When someone comes to feed you they only lift your bag high enough to expose your mouth. They feed you and tell you it was your last meal. You'll be hung in 2 days. Heres your new character." Another player, the female warrior dwarf, was called a dude on meeting the 'new character'. Whe took offense and used her daily in a suprise attack against him. Critical. Something like 35 damage. Not far off being outright dead. Well ... it was 9pm and he she hadn't used it yet. It would be a shame to let it go to waste. I had 4 guards that where nearby quickly decend on her and put their halbards straight around her neck. She tried to escape with acrobatics and they killed her in the attempt. Once again, it really comes down to how your players play and respond to the new rules. Mine ... only are only 'legally' adults, and not exactly mentally adult. Went a little crazy with all the new abilities. [B]Overall though everyone had a great time, and it will be something we talk about for a while to come I'm sure. [/B] [/QUOTE]
