It's nice to see a thread of people getting along and bein helpful rather than arguments.That's interesting. I think it'd work with my normal group, but I'm not sure about this one. I haven't played with any of them yet, so I don't want to go too far out with new things.Hmm, I can see the pros and cons to this. The upside is I can avoid them using dailies on minions (that was actually the standard!), but at the same time, I wouldn't want to cheat them out of killing a standard by utilizing the terrain (by changing it to a minion and "robbing" them of their clever kill).I seem to keep getting this bit of advice, so I'll do that. I'm a lot better at tactics than most people, so I'll see how it goes. Of the potential 4 players, I think 2 have never played (but do play Magic: The Gathering), one has played 4e for a few months, and one is an experienced player. I think my tactical skills might surpass their relative newness, especially considering that I can coordinate perfectly with myself, and they probably won't.But we'll see; it seems like people do keep saying "go at them full force."I could see this helping the new players. I'm not used to new players, so this is potentially very useful advice if they do play. Thanks <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Good idea. Get them used to using stuff (and having a fair shot at it working) and I think they'll start to do it on their own.Yeah, I think I'll try the inherent bonus / upgrading items thing and see how it goes.I tend to love skills, too, but we'll see how it goes with these players. I have a feeling I'll call for skill checks often, and use skill challenges frequently enough (perhaps even more than I'm used to). I'll consider going this route, too. Something to think about.Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of feats they'll focus on. I think only one player is savvy enough to really powergame, and I think he might attempt to (but I'm not sure yet). I don't think the relatively new players will know enough about 4e to know to go for the Expertise feats or defense feats. Depending on what they end up taking, I'll probably give a free feat one way or another.I'll do what I can! I already have some outlines for ideas for what I want, but I'm holding off until I read more about 4e. It'll be interesting to immerse myself a little more in the basic setting assumptions and go from there, but I am sure I'll put my own spin on it. And when I do, I'll try to give you all an update.Thanks!
