[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 9570159, member: 1788"] In my attempt to try 5.5 I was trying to decide between running the Dragonlance Adventure or the Planescape one. I was heavily considering the Planescape one when I noticed that it starts at level 3. I was wanting to give my group the full 5.5 experience by starting at level 1 and heading up from there. Well the Dragonlance one starts at level 1. Well okay that works. Not my first choice but I do like Krynn. "Level 1" is literally walk down a road. Maybe fight 2-4 guys. DING Level 2. Even if I wasn't running Milestone there is no way to get XP for that aside from just handing them story xp for reasons. Next chapter is basically wandering around a town and talking to NPCs. Maybe go fishing. A battle erupts and they actually have an encounter or 2. One a boss monster (more or less). At the end of the day DING Level 3. This is basically level 1-5. Also, keeping in mind these 1-2 battles vs full up Heroes who can just "go nova". 1-2 walking, light battle 3-4 Fishing and light battle 3-4 is maybe 2-4 encounters after some talking 4-5 is mostly talking with about 3 encounters near the end 5+ seems to be when the actual adventuring starts. WTH? Also it would seem to slow the game down to after an hour "Okay your level 2, change your sheets." 45 later "Okay your level 3 change your sheets." 30 minutes later "Your level 4 change your sheets." etc. Just start the game at 5. Just wild IMO. Is this normal now? I get 5E is meant more for telling stories then roaming dungeons but man the first 5 levels are just handed out for more or less free. [/QUOTE]
