I'm running the AoW with a group of five PCs. There were six but a player had to quit due to job. Even at six players it was tough but no TPKs. They have 2 1/2 adv left to finish it and I almost killed two of them last week(The big carrion crawler thingie) I gave them a freebie on it. For your game I suggest giving the party some henchmen to fill "traditional" roles.
how about selling ALL of these cards as singles? You could take pre-orders or have ordering limited to once/month. That would hopefully limit your printing costs. This way everyone could order exactly what they want. 1 of each weapon etc., 10 of each potion. plus shipping would probably be cheaper this way.
the cards don't have to be playing card sized. They could be larger. I think they should be packaged by class -0th to 9th.That way when you start a new char you have all the cards ready to go. I would like to see them include the spells from spell compendium. You have stated you are still on good terms with WotC so would this be possible?
I play on a play-by-post site. I can tell you it takes a LOT of work by a large group of dedicated gamers to keep the site and games going strong. There are over 100 members on the site currently and most of them contribute their time and effort to running some of the game boards as well as their character posts. It can be done but it isn't easy.
I personally roll everthing behind the screen.I don't fudge rolls generally so the players never question it.I also have the players roll all their own rolls(and out in the open), with one exception: an elf or similiar character who walks by a secret door has a chance to spot it,it gives it away to ask them to make that roll.Overall I feel a DM has too much to keep track of to make any of the players rolls for them.Now, to throw them off, I will sometimes make anonymous rolls which mean nothing or random spot checks which basically mean nothing but wont seem made up because I'll add a piece of dungeon dressing.I will sometimes use the prerolling method for combat.I will let a player know one or two places in advance of when they are up and they can preroll their turn and give me the results.As for your problem with the heated debate over the "1" spot check, if the players wont let it go have them roll for initiative and throw a wandering monster at them- that always gets their attention!
It is a good book.Lots of fluff and a good read for a fan just by itself.the rules sections don't need a lot of updating in my opinion.However don't forget the players guide to faerun book which updates many FR items to 3.5 and unless I'm mistaken, some of the spells are updated in the Spell Compendium.
my group played an adventure like this about a year ago.We were all "magically" abducted to some unknown d&d world.We all started off as 1st level human commoners and had to acquire training to get our first actual level.Most of the players went for fighter class as it seemed most logical.It was a lot of fun.As for ability scores we each gave our opinion and then averaged them all together.Amazingly everyone was satisfied and no one balked at some of the low but realistic scores.
First, limit access to items which boost saves and items which boost ability scores(and boost saves) As for your spellcasters, try the spells such as fox's cunning they will temporarily boost the spellcaster's DCs by 2 Don't forget to give them spell focus and greater spell focus feats. I personally boost NPCs scores sometimes also.If the PCs all start with 18s in their main spellcasting scores so should the NPCs. Look for spells that give automatic half damage with a successful save or have no save.Use a conjurer on occasion, the creatures can't be saved against unless the PCs have spell resistance. And last don't overlook rewarding the PCs for giving emphasis to buying items which boost saves instead of boosting armor/weapons. Sometimes its nice to let them walk over a spellcaster because of being well prepared.They should'nt be punished for it.Hope this helps.
Don't forget with the arcane archer, with the arrows enhanced for free, you can beef up the bow with various abilities such as speed and you can also put flaming etc. on the arrows.Since the arrows boost automatically, you only need +1 arrows plus whatever is on them. Also, do you like the woodland archer tactical feat?
I feel your pain.This happened to a friend of mine a few years ago.He lost several books, every character he ever made, and his dice collection which was very personal to him.Kudos to Paizo for being such an excellent company.I personally consider myself a lifetime customer and even moreso now.I would like to add that I much prefer these messageboards to the ones over at Wizards, everyone here seems so much more like a big extended gaming group. signed-Proud to be a gamer
I would pay $200 for a boxed set.I would also settle for a Hardcover.The Adventure Path(whichever) is my reason for subscribing in the first place.I don't have the time to put my own campaign together anymore so a prefab adventure is what I need.I am just starting part three with my group and so far they love it.I imagine at some point in the future I could end up running it again for a different group(my son and friends maybe?)and that is when the HC would really come in handy. As with everything else in life,I believe firmly in paying for quality.I do not want cheap one night adventures.I want an all-inclusive campaign with all the notes, handouts, and maps you can squeeze into it. Even though I am a subscriber I intend to purchase every AP book or box set that you ever end up releasing.After all, besides the three core rulebooks, what other books do you really need to play the game?
I would personally change as follows: put the 14 in CHA
Your strength is unimportant that's what fighters are for.Make them carry the rope etc.I like a high CHA.I think a wizard should be able to solve things through force of personality instead of relying solely on spells.The WIS can be lower because you will have good will saves anyway.As for familiars...I was always partial to the toad.The extra 3 hit points are very useful especially for a level adjustment wizard.
I would like to add a vote for an epic campaign arc.Something that could be tied to an adventure path but does not necessarily connect to any particular adventure path. I would also like to add that an adventure path does not need to place the entire world in danger, just enough of it to provide a frolicking good adventure.
I would like to see lists of useful things.Examples:
a list of ALL official prestige classes (name only) and the location (book, Dragon ) a list of ALL official spells and their sources/location by school of magic or maybe by other organization a list of ALL official feats and their sources etc. If this comes about,I would also like to see a yearly update article.As these articles would basically be lists only, they shouldn't take up too much room in the magazine.
