[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 169481, member: 275"] I'll second that wholeheartedly. Wulf provides excellent challenges, ones that make you physically sit back in your chair in relief when you've finished the game session. He needs to, because with players like Dinkeldog and Kid Charlemagne at the table, any slip-up on Wulf's part is going to cost the lives of a lot of bad guys without any payback. :) As someone who played and DMed quite a bit of 1st and 2nd edition AD&D, with several years off before joining up with this group last fall (my first 3e experience), it's a hell of a lot of fun to play with guys who are fun to spend time with but who are also at the top of creativity and game knowledge in a game session - on both sides of the screen. As for the stat bid system, I like it. There are moments you wish you had another point or two in something, but I know it's not something I spend a second grousing about - since the necessary stats and skills are spread out around the table, someone can step up and get it done. It has certainly made the characters more believable and handleable, and since we're all adults, we can appreciate having to compensate for a lack of uber stat points with player creativity.
