[QUOTE="Zaran, post: 5793083, member: 56710"] I actually like the idea that Werewolves are unkillable without silver. Or Vampires will not stay down unless you stake them and cut off their head. Or drag them out into the sun. Or shoot them with a super soaker filled with holy water. At the same time, what do you do when you are there without these items? Well maybe that's a battle that can't be won. Retreat. Pull the silver spoon out of that Eladrin's mouth and carve out the werewolve's heart with it. Stuff like that makes for drama. There should be times when the PCs can't win the first time. Will this cause the "golf bag" effect? Well, yeah after a hero has had to melt down his mother's dinnerware he might think to keep that silver longsword around. Would he look a bit rediculus with a dozen weapons? Possibly but he's still alive. I guess all I'm saying is I would prefer that the monster not be watered down to make it so every fight can be won no matter what. The game should not just be about killing every monster and taking their stuff. It's about overcoming challenges, meeting interesting beings, and of course killing them and taking their stuff.
