Single player playtest report.

Another thing: correct me if I'm wrong, but I BELIEVE that any time a power says 'weapon', it can be applied to unarmed attacks. So she could've used her fists to beat down goblins.

did she have fun?

Nice game!

This place WAS tough for a single player. If nothing else, her gaining a full level in there (even with a little leeway) indicates it was pretty brutal. One level in 5 encounters is about twice the expected speed of one level in 10 encounters.

Yeah, I pointed that out to her, but she preferred the 1d12 of her greataxe to her 1d4 fists.

She ended up going down, but made her save against death and was able to use a second wind to get up. This was a pretty tough fight, but not as tough as the final battle.

Was this a special rule for single player play?

You can't take actions while you are unconscious, so you normally can't take your second wind after you hit 0 hp...

I misspoke. She rolled a 20 on her death save.

Thanks for positing this!

I am getting ready to run a solo game for 13 year old son and I've come up with a couple of rules that will help him along.

Second Wind Solo House Rule
Heroic Tier Second Wind Recharge-
Paragon Tier Second Wind Recharge-
Epic Tier Second Wind Recharge


I am giving him an additional action point and allowing them to be recharged 1 after reach encounter.

There used to be a rule, which I don't believe made it into the final product, that if you rolled a 20 on your death save you not only stabilized, you got to activate a healing surge and jump back into combat. Personally, I think I might retain that rule.

-Sounds good to me. As long as they had fun great!
