As Tao of D&D was writing today, some of us bloggers have axes to grind...and I'm certainly one of 'em in this regard.<br /><br />Just by the way: my brother wants to game down at the Baranof again tomorrow (Thursday). Should I continue with B1 or move onto a new adventure?JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-74122972332696117362010-09-01T21:40:15.071-07:002010-09-01T21:40:15.071-07:00Yeah, it is like combat...but using skills instead...Yeah, it is like combat...but using skills instead. An interesting idea gone terribly wrong as far as roleplaying is concerned. The PCs need to get X successful skill rolls before Y failures.<br /><br />Depending on the DM, the usable skills are detailed up front to the PCs, or the Players attempt to justify a particular skill use in the situation to be allowed to use it.<br /><br />From what I know of you from reading this blog, you would absolutely loathe it.Stacktracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778633676064958982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-71544114074484412322010-09-01T12:51:02.071-07:002010-09-01T12:51:02.071-07:00@ Harvicus: "Skill challenges?"

I love h...Awesome descriptions, thanks for sharing!<br />I love how the quickly assembled group of NPCs were tied to your brother's character so well with just a couple die rolls. I think I will have to make use of that table of yours.<br /><br />The parlay seems to be a throwback tactic. There is nothing preventing such in 4th, but the way the rules are presented they do not encourage such behavior out of the typical group of new players, unless it has been detailed as a skill challenge.Stacktracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778633676064958982noreply@blogger.com
