This reminds me of my local con’s Toxic Waste. You had to have special tokens and know which room to go to.
It’s never a good thing when communication breaks down.
This is why I have always STRONGLY encouraged all my player to come up with a little bit of a background for their characters. Why did your mage leave the library? Why did you pick up a sword and decide to fight trolls and dragons? what is your character's ultimate goal. That gives fighters and other melee characters TONS of out of character tasks. Do you make a fighter roll a Diplomacy check to seal the deal with an NPC for information? No. Have the NPC send the fighter off to beat someone up or have someone show up to kill the NPC and the fighter gets to be a hero by himself without rest of the party.
I have found as from a DM stand point using index cards is best way to go. Condense the cohort down to a quick reference index card if you can. All the numbers on the front, and equiptment on the back. Same with hired goon. I would assume could get away with doing same for your summoned creatures. I am willing to bet everything you summon is heavily modified from feats and templates so using the bestiary is a waste anyways
Since this is going off the "Elves are Chaotic", let's not forget that they are also Good. In my homebrew I have an area that is called the Elven Nation while they have no ruling body or figurehead of any sort. They live together in tree hugging harmony. I give the elves a STRONG sense of community. If there is an Orc army nearby or in the world, they don't wait for a King to declare war on the Orcs, those that can take up arms and do what is Good. The only reason I see why elves would need goverment is to interact with other races. |
