Message: <blockquote data-quote="King Nate" data-source="post: 4597489" data-attributes="member: 7435">Thanks everyone for the advice (even the advice on my marriage <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" /> ) I'm shocked at the number of responces, I didn't think anyone was going to read a post that was this long. I did forget to mention the combat demo I had with my wife. It went something like this.I created a simple room with a few blocking terrains and tossed her four minions to battle. I explained to her that these four monsters were going to kill her, unless she did something about it. I asked her what she wanted to do and she said, run. I explained to her that this was only a combat demo and that we are trying to learn the combat rules. Normally running away is an option, however for this demo we will have to fight.The minions almost killed her! She missed her first, like ten attacks! The minons hit every time! I thought she was going to hate the game, then she hit one and she got so excited. We high-fived that she killed a minion! Then she was excited about fighting. I don't know how well combat will go with these girls. I think if they are all like her, they will try to run from combat. I'll have to throw in a test round to see how they react. I was thinking that I would give them premade characters or use the new character creator for their characters. I just like to point out that, before we got married, I wasn't playing D&D anymore. I skipped the whole 3rd edition and stopped playing when it came out. I'm one of the veterans brought back to the game by 4e which I love. So I haven't been keeping this a secret from her for very long, and my pre-3rd edition experience is the reason I am the way I am. May things have changed during the 3rd edition era?Now this is funny, only because it sounds a lot like most my early red-box days.</blockquote>
