[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7087916, member: 29398"] Tournament play is so far removed from the type of open-ended home campaigns we're talking about here as to be nearly irrelevant to the discussion. Organized play - by which I take you to mean AL now and RPGA stuff in the past - I would expect to be able to handle a major left turn like this and would be disappointed if it could not. As for hard adventure paths - well, if a DM says "I'm going to run Ironfang Invasion" and I agree to play in it, I'm kind of also agreeing not to take any major left turns and to settle in for what hopefully will become a train ride rather than a train wreck. :) Or, characters role-play their way in and out of various parties as makes sense for them (and thus players end up cycling through characters rather than always playing the same one). I don't mind this at all, as changes to the party composition are a good way of keeping a long campaign fresh. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
