Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 5093689" data-attributes="member: 114">A couple of observations - one is that I've noticed on many occasions on the Penny Arcade podcasts that Chris isn't always on top of the rules, and sometimes misses out on some basic stuff. Some guys are like that. However, he generally has nice characterisation and roleplaying of NPCs which I really like to see. Lots of DMs have problems here and there with details of rules, and often appreciate help from people who naturally retain rules that little bit better.My other observation is that the power cards the new guys are using might not be the best... I know that the power cards from the character builder include rules text but don't include the 'flavour text' for the power. If the guy had got the flavour text on his power card which said "A flickering halo of purple light surrounds the target, making it easier to hit" He probably wouldn't have even had to ask Chris whether he could use it to do the job. The description would have told him.So perhaps one moral of the story might be that power cards can benefit from being more complete in their description of what a power does.Cheers</blockquote>
