[QUOTE="toucanbuzz, post: 8093898, member: 19270"] Played Kingmaker pre-computer game and later played the CRPG. While I don't recognize the situation, I get what's going on. [LIST=1] [*]You don't have to strike with disadvantage to knock people unconscious. This is a choice when your melee attack reduces an opponent to 0hp. In prior editions, you had a penalty to attack this way which was code for "quit dicking around and just kill these monsters and get your XP." [*]Gnomes and kobolds hate is religiously based and eons in the making. You'd have better luck travelling to the Middle East and yelling for everyone to pay attention to the stranger. Wont' work. Now if you don't believe in that AD&D pantheon crap, then yell away. [*]Paladins and evil-doers don't mix. Now I know 5E said anyone can be a paladin, and nothing says paladin like playing a killer for the god of thieves, but most players I've run into still tend to lean to the original form. Also, anytime you let players mix good and evil alignments (nothing like Princess Leia and Darth Vader teaming up to invade a dungeon), there's going to be issues. [*]Druids once were required to be of Neutral alignment (Lawful, True Neutral, or Chaotic). This represented their loyalty to "earth 1st" and "everything else" 2nd. I'm not aiming to start an edition flame war over what's better, but just ask in what reality is the interest of Mother Earth served by lightning blasting people who don't do what you want? Wouldn't the better choice be who is more closely aligned to druid interests? And if that ends up being gnomes, sure, go for it. [*]Dammit, how do you "bleed out" from a lightning strike? [*]Kobolds all look alike unless they're comedy relief with names like Meepo (sounds cutesy) and Churtle (slang for vomit from 3E's Savage Tide).
