[QUOTE="Need_A_Life, post: 3242500, member: 48277"] Great Storyhour! I finished reading your Age of Worms adventure path like an hour ago and downloaded your shackled city story hour just afterwards. This is definitely a group I'd like to play with, though from what I saw in the AoW SH you're a bit to happy about optimization for my own comfort. Though, I bet that I could keep up the pace if I had to. Glad to see the piracy spreading in the group already! Hope that these characters end up rich, infamous, feared and sipping expensive liquors on sunbathed beaches. Or, at least Anwar ;) Only one way to learn the ropes of D&D. I came to it straight from having played free-form roleplaying, so coming into a high-powered, high-levelled group of munchkins gave me a firm introduction to the mechanics. I'll pass on a few quotes from my current group: "Nono, you're going about this wrong. You see, this is [U]flavor[/U] text, just skip straight to the prestige classes. Oh and check out the feats and spells while you're at it." [said as an example of the common rookie mistake] "If your saves aren't a minimum of +30, you're dead in first round of combat" [we were level 18 IIRC] *stunned silence* "You come in here and claim to know nothing about combat at these levels, you spend most of your time trying to find out exactly what your spells [I]do[/I], haven't used anything higher than 2nd level spells for five rounds and you could actually handle this guy on your own?" [at level 20] [/QUOTE]
