[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 8147410, member: 20323"] I've been running some D&D for my nephew and his friend. A lot of it has been ad lib. I've been cutting monster HP by half, been lax on the action economy, give them ample opportunity to gain advantage, try to include a "trick" to most combats so if they're thinking they can find a way to win the combat without slogging it out to the bitter end, and whenever they roll the same initiative I let them come up with some kind of teamwork combo that breaks the rules. They're 3rd level now (storm herald barbarian with [I]belt of fire giant strength, [/I]and fiend/pact blade warlock with [I]necklace of fireballs[/I]) and fighting an enchantress (20 hp [B]mage [/B]with illusion & enchantment & transmutation spells and a special reaction teleport) who has control of a gang of 8 [B]trolls[/B] (40 hp) who were illusioned to appear as men and are controlled by a magic crystal she wears. They talked their way in, so they managed to slip past half the trolls, talked one troll down (cause they helped him scratch his nose earlier), and are facing the enchantress, 2 [B]trolls, [/B]and Verdigris the "war" [B]troll [/B](who has an axe, a magic eye that hexes, and 84 hp).
