Hmmm wishlist eh?

Well a Bloodclaw weapon is nice, magic dwarven armour (preferably scale, my next feat choice), A healer's brooch all come to mind

 

[Thanee]

Healer's Brooch is always good, as is Amulet of Health or Cloak of Resistance.
Some kind of magic Holy Symbol is obviously useful, same as a magic Hide or Chain Armor.

The basics.

An Experiment Proposal

http://www.enworld.org/forum/genera...quicker-way-play-post-would-interest-you.html

I am thinking about running the next combat under a set of restrictions like this. Basically run the game "for you". It might speed up dungeon crawling drastically. Would this turn you off?

 

[Redclaw]

Yeah, I think it would turn me off. One of the things I really like about 4E is the tactical aspect of the battles. Similarly, I really prefer the encounter portion of pbp better than the roleplay between battles. I struggle to maintain character in such stilted context. Losing out on the decisions as the battle progresses would probably make the game much less enjoyable for me.

I agree with Red, I enjoy the PbP battles to prep & test out tactics for my RL group. I like to see how other Player's run their characters and get idea myself, also it let's me try a bunch of new classes out and how they play in combat. The idea is intriguing, but as Red mentions the RP portion of games can get to bit quite disjointed unless you happen to be online with another player or the DM and can have a running back & forth, but then others get left out.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Well seeing as how 3/5 players have already said no, I will not run the experiment. It'd be better for an RP- Heavy game which SoW for us is not.

 

[renau1g]

I do think it's an interesting option and I'm always looking for ways to speed up PbP, which I've shamelessly borrowed your method of all the bad guys then all the PC's to keep it moving. It might work well with a group of player's who've played together for a while as well.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

which I've shamelessly borrowed your method of all the bad guys then all the PC's to keep it moving.

Mal Malenkirk's. And he stole it from someone else. It's like a virus.

 

[Thanee]

Yep, grouping all the PCs and all the Baddies together is definitely a good idea for PbP and used in many games I have seen.

As for the option... agree with the others. 4E isn't the right game for that one.
