yah

I have thought about it

or making it so that you start as warriors/rogues/adepts and pick up stronger classes later (when you earn them)

Jon Miller

[Jon Miller]

I meant experts rater than rogues

Jon Miller

[Felch]

Yeah, moving up later on, good call.

[Jon Miller]

so what is the final call

is it worth it?

a note, this campaign seems much more XP freindly than Gold freindly

Not me. I give out random potions and scrolls to confuse people.

[Felch]

I give out naked pictures of George W. to confuse and terrify people.

I did that for a while, the party realised and sold all the junk, and crafted +4 keen holy weapons.

That kind of screwed up my careful planning

[Jon Miller]

don't throw out lots of stuff

just the normal items that you owuld give

just instead of giving gold and the like give out random potions and scrolls

What Jon said. Nothing expensive or rare. Also, you can make scrolls and potions cheap in your world, but weapons expensive. You're the DM, it's up to you.

[Jamski]

You've never DMed a group of whingers ("but if we're fighting trolls why didn't you give us a scroll of fire arrows?" "Only 2 items worth taking in that whole dungeon?")

Surely they're in there for the experience. If they wanted to be stupidly rich then what the heck are they doing out fighting monsters? They should be trading in futures!

Btw, I'm a great fan of overly-powerful items either having a limited lifespan (like wands), being stolen at night or even just breaking. Even the finest weapons can break if you're unlucky, and especially if the GM ensures that you get unlucky. Just make sure that they're fighting something decent at the time, because no human bone will shatter a +2 axe, but a golem may well. Curses work too, and if they want their super-charged equipment back after a run-in (and swift fly-off) with a malignant witch, then they'll just have to go on yet another adventure to get the curse reversed.

[Jon Miller]

eh

all you need for trolls is some good oil and a method to start fires quickly

Jon Miller

[Urban Ranger]

Jamski,

I think you had pampered them too much


DoY,

Rust monsters

[Jon Miller]

we quick playing for a couple weeks

need to decide now, I think

JOn Miller

[Jon Miller]

so tastie metammagic+item creation is

empower
maximise
widen (already have)
quicken
chain spell
twin spell or repeat spell
skill focus: spell craft
craft wand
improved familiar (but I don't think I want to do without for a year and a day)

I have 8 more feats to pick if I don't go the bladesinger route, 9 more if I do but I also have to get

expertise, dodge, weapon focus long sword, still spell
