[QUOTE="ruemere, post: 3702245, member: 5515"] Ari, D20 is not a fair, equal-chances-for-everyone, type of a game. If you don't do the necessary crunch, you may end up as party equivalent of a village idiot. That said, when your game becomes an encounter-hopping experience (meaning, you time your play by going from one encounter to another), you need to ask your GM if it wouldn't be a good idea to introduce a few sessions where metagaming does not impact your gaming performance. Sample themes for encounterless sessions: - trading and marketing session (where you hold charity auctions, visit friendly NPCs and so on - basically, working a bit on a social aspects of character's life), - multilayered combat (example: you need to use environment to your advantage to win against impossible odds, hostage situation where you are the hostages), - murder mystery, - administration, diplomacy and slave trade, - smugglers, cops and internal affairs (yes, I know it's d20 :P). Of course, my ideas may seem a bit trivial, after all, you're seasoned gamer, yet, sometimes, it's easy to forget about such basics. Regards, Ruemere [/QUOTE]
