Can someone verify if the duplicate pawns are numbered? Like if there's 4 goblin warriors, they will have a 1, 2, 3, or 4 printed in the top corner? Got a starfinder pawn set and am very disappointed with the lame color system they used. Not interested in buying another set of pawns with that.
The link in the Spell List Index for 'Haunting Mists'a level 2 sorc/wiz spell is sending me to 'Haunting Choir' The level 3 bard spell. Currently sorted to show me only Sorcerer and Wizard spells. Just giving you guys a heads up.
Oh, and get yourself an assistant GMI can't reiterate this enough. With that many enemy bodies, it's going to be HELL to run them all. Not only will an assistant help with running half the baddies for you, but can also help keep you strait on rules and look up things for you while you keep the flow going. I could make the difference between a nightmare (the bad kind, not the 'Oooh, it's Halloween!' kind) and a very memorable gaming experience. Ya, as soon as the number of players hit 8, I asked one of them, a good friend of mine to help me GM instead. So I'm set on the assistant. I appreciate the input though! Had I not prepared one already this would have easily been the most important bit of advice I could ever have received here X.X
Sweet, thanks guys. I really wasn't sure what to do with the APL so the 15 helps a lot. Terrain will be a bit difficult to give too much advantage with due to the location it is happening at, but I can definitely have the enemies EXTREMELY well prepared for the battle. Full on buffs, plenty of traps, etc.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and give me your advice! I have done some GMing of games for the past year or so, but they have always been games of 5 or so players. I am hosting a Halloween one night only game, and it got more popular than I anticipated. 11 PC's to be precise... The books say that when determining difficulty, if there are more than 6 players, simply add 1 to the APL. But going from 6 to 11 players is a pretty massive difference, and I don't think simply adding 1 to the APL is going to be enough to make the fights challenging... On top of this, since it is a one night only session of 3 battles, everyone is power gaming HARD. People are ignoring the idea of Role Play entirely. They are all level 12, and have by the book amount of gold to spend (108,000). So questions are... What would you recommend I consider their APL (Average party Level) when determining what monsters to throw at them? Do you have any particular advice for how to design such large scale fights? Thanks again all! |
