That's what I hoped would happen, but I was ready to throw down with the d20s if they'd decided to try and fight it.</I><BR/><BR/>It ate a bunch of elves! Elves we knew were badass because we saw them beat a bunch of people up! Well, sort of. Point being that handing out clues about how tough things are is helpful.<BR/><BR/>Also: When Rukmini gets back to civilization, she's going to have to go get some tea. Because Team Cleric + Tea Party = Awesome.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528192783751011497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-25182122599796726322009-04-08T20:49:00.000-05:002009-04-08T20:49:00.000-05:00*nodnod* Yep, the world is a big bad and don't giv...*nodnod* Yep, the world is a big bad and don't give a tinker's cuss about party challenge levels or fairness.<BR/><BR/>Last night, our party of 2nd and 3rd level characters, while passing across the snowy plains of (you might call it Finland), we suddenly found ourselves up against a snow-worm (like the purple kind, but whiter and colder). And yeah, we ran like scalded dogs.Spike Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815664834043663899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-25419541234881899652009-04-08T19:07:00.000-05:002009-04-08T19:07:00.000-05:00On the subject of wandering monsters, for me this ...On the subject of wandering monsters, for me this is the iconic image:<BR/><BR/>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/sirlarkins/Fantastical%20Fantasy/dnd02.jpg<BR/><BR/>DM: "You're out riding through the wilderness when suddenly, through a gap in the trees, you see a hissing, spitting dragon!"<BR/><BR/>PC: "OMGWTF."<BR/><BR/>I really don't see the point of making sure wandering monsters are balanced against PC ability.
