[QUOTE="Razjah, post: 6260004, member: 98806"] The PCs are going to be unarmed and unarmored? Encourage them to use chairs and tables as weapons. I just hope the whole campaign uses such swashbuckling fights. Let them know you want this to be like Indiana Jones, the Princess Bride, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Transporter. Use as much of the scenery as possible to fight and make everything more epic. When I ran a swashbuckling style game I told the players that if something was plausible to be there and it would make a cool moment, it would be there. Player A: "I leap off the balcony and cut the rope holding the chandelier. Then I ride the chandelier down and jump off at the last moment so I don't get hurt." Player B: "The GM didn't say there was a chandelier." GM: "There is now. Go for it, roll athletics vs DC 20. If you fail the guys will dodge and you'll take a bit of damage in the fall. Succeeding means it crashes on the 4 underneath it probably killing them." The drunk rules are a little crazy, but I think the fight is supposed to be chaotic. If the PCs are highly likely to walk out of this, then I think you're fine. [/QUOTE]
