[QUOTE="Blackwarder, post: 6332613, member: 6688285"] I don't get it, you had 3 players, one of them was an experienced player who played 3 of the pregen characters and the other 2 were new players who each played one character. During the first combat of the adventure you managed to roll realy high for all goblins getting complete surprise, you then continued (through no fault of yours) to roll realy high for the attacks and managed to drop the new players characters below 0 and it seems that you misunderstood the dying rules so you out right killed them... What happened to the other three characters? Did you focus fire on those two characters? And if so why? As for more robust 1st level characters, tough luck, most of us who did the playtest survey prefer this level of 1st level characters and the developers have said that if you want to start playing with 4e style of 1st level characters than just start at 3rd level, you will get the HP you like plus the level of options of 4e. I had something like that happen to me during the playtest, I nearly TPK a group consisting of 3 new players to the hobby, I used this to illustrate that D&D is not a computer game and that you should be more alert, when the group recuperated they started playing more smart and less expecting to just have combat encounters handed to them on a platter (the rest of the players came from 4e). Anyway, I'm rumbling. Tell us how your second game went, good luck! Warder [/QUOTE]
