[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7977063, member: 6775031"] For a while, I was working on a game that used a deck of playing cards to randomize monster actions and their effectiveness. Translating that to D&D, I would construct a deck of forty cards (containing 1-10 of each suit), and build a simple script for each monster. For example: [LIST] [*]Club: Make a melee attack (+4 to hit, 5 slashing damage) at the closest enemy. [*]Spade: Make a ranged attack (+4 to hit, 5 piercing damage) at the most vulnerably enemy. [*]Diamond: Run away and hide. [*]Heart: Use the Help action on an ally. [/LIST] All of the monsters act on the same turn. On their turn, reveal one card for each monster. If the action involves making a d20 check of any sort, the value of the d20 is equal to twice the rank of the card. The hard part is building the script for each monster. [/QUOTE]
