[QUOTE="zakael19, post: 9674711, member: 7044099"] Yeah so I plan to handle exploration style scenes the way I do in a PBTA like Stonetop: a point crawl. Narrate the travel portions with some back and forth world building and character beats, and then introduce a scene not dissimilar to like the Abandoned Druid Grove or Raging River. Not always a problem, sometimes opportunities or cinematic stops, or chances to gain insight into a threat, etc. I'll also deal with traps the way I would in a narrative system: they're a GM move. If you sign posted with environmental details and they didn't consider, they've handed you an Golden Opportunity - Reveal An Unwelcome Truth (yeah so Terwyn as you step down the hallway here there's a [I]click[/I] under your foot as a plate depresses and you hear a rumbling in the wall, what do you do? - probably a reaction roll, maybe an ability response); Split Them Up (maybe this is on a failure of previous, maybe you want to just complicate things, so the floor drops out; or a portcullis slams down, etc). The goal here should be to prompt a player response IMO, that seems to be the core of this system. I meant the subclass abilities and the emphasis on Oaths. One subclass is the Smiting side of the paladin fantasy (plus flying), the other is the Lay on Hands. It was just interesting to see. I agree the actual domain abilities are a split.
