[QUOTE="Zaukrie, post: 7976658, member: 2057"] Had a session zero last night. I've never run one before, and thanks to your advice (in my thread and others) it went very well. We have four people that have never played before......one is a druid, and the player seems to think she's already 20th level. "I can control the elements, I should be able to make a hurricane".....that's a literal quote.... So, how do I help new players realize they aren't all powerful at level 1? Nicely...... One argument I will probably make is logic.....Look, there are probably thousands of level 1 spellcasters right now on the planet. What would happen to teh world if they could all make a hurricane happen? I did let her do something overly powerful last night, but I made sure she understood it was not normal she could do it. "The spirits and your god have made it clear this is a glimpse of power you could have, but don't". Then she still tried to do the hurricane thing.... I don't want to crush new players' spirits, but, ya know, we need some limits here people..... thanks, [/QUOTE]
