[QUOTE="Bill Zebub, post: 9562107, member: 7031982"] I always use the torch timers. With a kitchen timer (or on your phone) there's nothing to track, other than to remember to start the timer. Encourage players to not keep their own timers, though. On a related note, don't forget to attack their light sources! Monsters that like the dark, sudden gusts of wind, etc. Also use lost torches as a consequence of failed rolls. "Will I be able to jump over the pit?" "Yes, but it will require a Dex roll, and on a failure you lose your torch." The other advice I will give is on spellcasting... GMs: don't be tempted to adjust the rules because it feels too punitive. Especially once the players start to get more bonuses to spellcasting they will get a LOT more spells per day than in D&D. Sure, some days they'll have bad luck. But other days they will just keep casting and casting and casting. It's awesome. Players: save your luck tokens for spellcasting fumbles. Re-rolling those nat 1's is huge. [/QUOTE]
