[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 1775603, member: 6390"] I had a slight idea the other night (well, in November) and ran it by my players. They all about freaked. "Here is your new stat-block. You have 4 levels to spend, but you may only take a single level in a single class, the rest must be spent in templates or racial adjustments. You have 10,000 GP to spend on gear, and can use any of the 3.0 or 3.5 or Shtar books you want. There are no cross class skills and feel free to beg for cool stuff." The stat block was as follows (Include the Apperance stat from BoEF) 26, 25, 24, 23, 21, 19, 18 Yup, you read it right. 26, 25, 24, 23, 21, 19, 18 We ended up with SuperPC's, strange combinations and packing powerful magic from the get go. We had a lot of fun, and the PC's felt confident in taking on challenges. Some people traded in thier levels for free feats or magic items, or odd stuff. The characters are alive still, but fight the brutal battles, face the hard fights, and take on the rough things that most PC's would run from. (Yeah, I'm the "idiot" who slammed a barbarian against a marble pillar and ruled: Dude, you're dead. Contrary to what a lot of you suspected, Kerrick wasn't complaining, just curious as to your responses.) We cross between cinematic and gritty styles. Since they are WAY larger than life heroes (I'm sick of the "nobody special" style, I'm nobody special in real life, I'd like to RP a larger than life heroe) we have the Wuxia style combats. Any of you ever tried this? Just releasing the restraints, throwing that Holy Cow of "Game Balance" out the window and just having fun? [/QUOTE]
