[QUOTE="Castellanox7, post: 5928034, member: 94130"] Afternoon all! I've got a few stupid questions regarding creating a campaign, and I'm sorry if these are reposts; feel free to virtually smack me upside the head and link me to other posts. [B]Background:[/B] I've decided that it'd be cool to create a [I]Goldeneye[/I]-based campaign for D&D. I've sketched out maps, and have general ideas where monsters [I]should[/I] be located. I'm running into a few problems. [LIST=1] [*]Is there an [B]optimal way to create encounters[/B]? I know there's the n +/- 1 stuff in DMG1, and there are encounter generators online. Do any of you have a suggested method or generator that you use? [*][B]Spy char creation: [/B]I'm debating about how character creation would happen. I want to have some MI6 continuity, and I doubt a Paladin, Druid or Shaman(-ish) would be employed as a spy. Should I say that it's "heavily recommended" that people hybrid-class as a ranger/thief/fighter? If so, how would you handle DEX being a dump stat? My initial thought would be to take an existing array and replace the lowest stat with an 18. How would you also handle hybrid-class restrictions? Should (for example) Hunter's Quarry/Sneak Attack become an at-will, rather than an encounter? [*][B]Stealth rules: [/B]Any thoughts about stealth takedowns? If a PC successfully sneaks up on an enemy and performs a takedown, should the enemy be considered a minion and be insta-killed? [*]Anyone have a [B]preferred map creator program[/B]? In an online group, our DM is using a whiteboard app/Skype plugin called IDroo. [*]Does anyone see [B]other potential red-flags[/B]? I know that the entire campaign will be railroaded/linear, but I suspect that the D&D campaign topic would be enough to keep interest. [/LIST] Thanks, everyone. I appreciate it, -CastX7 [/QUOTE]
