They rolled and tumbled about the living room to simulate their combat actions. All of this came from them.  All I really had to do was help them remember the mechanical aspects of the game, and even then, very little of that.  I wish some of the adults in my other game were half as creative and innovative as they!!!  They're already talking about the next adventure, and my son has picked out prestige class he wants to track for.  He figured that by taking the Wild Talent feat and spending points for cross class ranks in Concentration, he can achieve the Pyrokineticist PrC w/out being an actual psionic character.  I have to look into the rules, but I think he might be able to do it.All in all, a good time was had by everyone who participated!  Ahh...youth.</blockquote>
