But you may use the 4E rules in a very different way and I admit I may be inferring completely incorrectly.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-50501527548817629412009-07-15T17:09:46.119-07:002009-07-15T17:09:46.119-07:00(Remember that this is coming from a B/X fan)
You...(Remember that this is coming from a B/X fan)<br /><br />You are seriously generalizing about playstyles here. In my own d20 campaigns, odds are he would be a level 4 or so Noble, even against a level 20 party. The idea of every fight having to be a commensurate Challenge Rating is bunk, CR is used to determine what kind of challenge you want to provide the party. What would be the challenge would be getting to the dude, not killing him once you've got him alone.<br /><br />In the 4e game I played in, the big bad villain at the end was almost exactly what you described here, a measly old goblin that we killed without a major battle. The issue was getting to her.Dyson Logoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352404068239792475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-6727076353333194172009-07-15T14:56:14.416-07:002009-07-15T14:56:14.416-07:00I played in a B/X game where a PC actually said &q...I played in a B/X game where a PC actually said "Leave him, he's not worth it" rather than the player automatically seeing the old guy as walking XP and running him through with a broadsword. <br /><br />B/X PCs are more than ordinary men. Not Demi-gods but they have something that sets them apart. I've watched old school players nurture the hero-ism/anti-heroism of their characters accordingly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
