[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 816916, member: 264"] I learned this the hard way my Fellow Billy, so please take it for what it's worth. [List][*]Spellcasters are going to positively Dominate your game. Unlike normal dungeon crawls Spellcasters flexibility is going to be highlihgted to the detriment of an non-spellcasting class. In my experience, city campaigns tell to be a lot more RP intensive than your average D&D "Series of linked adventures". and there a re a *lot* more non-combat uses for the spell lists than there are combat uses. this is not exactly true of the ability to swing a weapon. [*]Ramp up the EL of Combat Encounters, as there will be fewer of them. A combat encounter is supposed to use up 1/4 of the PC's resources (I think), if you only have one encounter a night (if that), the players will [i]Breeze[/i] through your game like it was nothing.
