I'm planing a siege campaign for my four captains of the guard and I was wondering if anyone had any experience of running one, what where the pitfalls and whether there is any god material out there on PC controlling a group of NPC i.e. general soldiers say ten per PC?

Cheers for your input.

Search for tbug on these boards.

He GMed an all-undead party for the Legacy of Fire Adventure Path. They had a blast.

Found the threat for you here

There are spoilers in that thread for the AP. It's a campaign journal. Hopefully you'll find inspiration there.

Cheers Lopke, this is well grand.

Right I was wandering the wast wastelands that is my brain, as is often the case when one is supposed to be working and I stumbled upon a thought; that in the right campaign situations one could have a player/ers play on as a undead?

Has anyone had experience of this and/or reasons that this should be out of the question?

Let me make it clear this is not a desperate attempt to find a way to keep alive a caracter that one has become overly attached to. Now I remember where this comes from, I was reminded of Zaknafein Do'Urden and how he was brought back to life.

I saw this as more of a possible device to aid in the storytelling, when and if the situation arose.

Can I just say. This wasn't the greatest question to begin with and was my first one to boot but I F#$ing love all your enthusiasm! Your all grand!(not drunk)

The rule is a variant, not core, and it only functions off two 20's and then a confirm, so it won't work with say- 20/18/18 (assuming Kukri) but it will work off 20/20/18.

Its a bad variant IMO, that really just means senseless player deaths. I've rolled far too many double 20's in my time, i'm certain I could rattle off six or seven PC's who would have been killed instantly by my lucky GMing dice, had I been using this rule :P.

That sound much more sensible. Provided I would then have extend my crit range that would just have been ridiculous. Kukri's with better crit is something like 15 to 20! I'm all for massive KO's but that just wouldn't be fair and would most likely end up with a escalating difficulty battle with the DM and that is a battle you cannot win.

Cheers for the reply's.

Hi

Here's probably a silly one: Firstly does the 20/20/20 rule work as advertised by colleges i.e role that, and it's a kill no mater the foe and how good your stats are. Secondly is that applicable in cases where, like my caracter has kukri's and a threat range of 18-20? So if I role a 20 say and then 18/19 will it count the same as 20/20/20(provided the rule actually works, can't for the life of me find it in any source material)

It's useful info to have so I can staple it to the DM's head(and get the resulting permanent str drain as a punishment)

Cheers,
