[QUOTE="Psion, post: 4609774, member: 172"] Regarding the OP and referenced articles: The old advice is good advice. Some bits of this, like: Sounds like the same exact sort of thing that was pointed out in an old Dragon article (issue 175, titled "Inventing the Instant Adventure), subtitled "if you are going to wing it, make a flight plan". At any rate, regarding the "ease of winging it in 3e", my thoughts reflect those of KM and BotE. I find that the structure is easy to plug in to come up with challenges, and that creature entries have the right depth for me to both draw ideas from and add my own spin. Yep. That's a mental block I just don't encounter. I really don't get why so many people got so hung up on looking up just the right DC in 3e. Once you sort of understand the scale, it's not that difficult to wing DCs. But the fact that the DCs are there as a reference gives me a feel how difficult something should be. I'd rather have a reference and get it off than make everything relative. [/QUOTE]
