I try to update it three times a week, but with trips and such it usually ends up twice a week. We play every other Monday, and I try to make sure everything relating to the former session is completed before we play again.As for Delorian, the Shade Monk, I let him come in at an ECL of 12, but put him at the experience of a 10th level character. As if he had added the shade template at 8th level, and is still working off the extra xp needed to go to 9th. He is also equipped as an 8th level character (or maybe it was 10th, I need to check that). He has enough xp now to be almost 11th I think, but he is not going to level till his XP is the equivalent of 13th level, bringing him to 9th level monk. I knew this would be throwing a 12th level character into a 10th level party, but he also took an XP hit as if he brought in a new character, so in the end he is still 'behind' the only two characters to not have died, or been new addtions etc (bonus points for anyone who can name them, additional bonus points for naming the only 'first session' character still around). I also have some really serious In Character balancing means with Delorian, and have kept a serious eye on whether or not the shade powers are abused or overpowering, or what. So far the player has shown fairly good restraint. Example was when they first went to the crypts, the doors were chained from the inside. The party immediately all turned to the shade to have him shadow step through. He made them convince him first IC, and then even looked to me to make sure it was not going to be abusive or anything. I give him a quick nod to show that I appreciated the check and off he went to the other side of the doors.Where he could do absolutely nothing to break the lock on the chain on the other side. In the end it was returning to get a gem of knock from Drena that allowed the lock to open and the chain to be removed, so it was party teamwork and so forth. I was so proud. <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" /> Anyways... I am hoping for an update today, and Friday, and then again Monday (Game Day! Woot!).Thanks again for the feedback.- Wraith</blockquote>
