[QUOTE="tomlib, post: 5023742, member: 76894"] I'm playing in a Scales of War campaign and we just finished a two session 5+ hour battle and I'm going to rant a little. I'm sure Ari Marmell is an excellent guy and a fine writer but this was beyond horrendous. Has anyone else done this battle? Basically you are tricked into using all your Daily and Encounter Powers against what you think is the big fight. Then more bad guys arrive and you ally with the group you were fighting originally. With few Powers and high AC enemies you do little damage and the GM is doing 90% of all dice rolling for enemies and new allies (including, but not limited to, 5 Quickling Runners who run all over the place and attack up to five times a round, that's five movements and 25 attacks and potential damages for the GM to roll every round while players sit on their hands). Holy crap? Seriously? My fellow GM friends, I beg of you, never do this to your players. Rant over. Happy Gaming, Tom [/QUOTE]
