Message: <blockquote data-quote="fba827" data-source="post: 167498" data-attributes="member: 807">There is a link on the Announcement page about Donation and Intervention posted on the WotC site so I checked it out. <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20020424x" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20020424x</a>Just thought I'd see what people's reactions are.To me:It seems fairly cut and dry.  An otherwise simple way to quantify something that the DM could otherwise do on a whim.I think it takes away the "contrived" feeling that (if the DM does do something like that) is generally otherwise had.  Also takes the strain from the DM trying to think if a diety would involve himself and instead puts the call in the players lab (ie the player has to say "I want an intervention check")anyway, those are my first thoughts - positive thoughts.  Seems simple (not overly complicated) and takes some of the intervention stuff in the players lap (and justifies whatever intervention happens).True, it may make some of the intervention a little bland and overdone if abused (and given what PCs can afford at high levels, esp in a Monte Haul campaign, then, well, this could get overdone real fast)... but I won't let that stop.. I'll just be judicious in my usage and maybe even up the DC to 15 (maybe).I am not making much sense - this is what happens when I don't sleep and decide to read the EN boards instead (bad me! very bad!)<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
