[QUOTE="Nemio, post: 6340137, member: 6775814"] The remarks from [B]stevelabny[/B] are my thoughts exactly. What makes it worse are the flaws of the folkhero PC, so if they RP him correctly he will be too arrogant to believe failure is an option. Not only that, the players themselves might think it is possible. They will probably have the videogame reaction of "Well, if it's there then it means that we can beat it." I know that they should change this feeling but waiting for a TPK and then saying "Well, now you've learned." isn't going to make for happy players I think. The dragon will probably kill them in round one so they won't have an oppurtunity to flee. And even if they could then I think it would be a big letdown for the player of the Folkhero PC to be the only one with a goal that he/she can't really accomplish. Ugh, this one is going to give me a lot of headache I'm afraid. Any tips for a new DM? How do you let your players know in general that they shouldn't really fight a powerful monster (yet) ? [/QUOTE]
