Scales of War: Adventurers On Ice!
In my short time of playing this edition, I've noticed a trend in WotC's published adventures. While most people I talk to seem to agree that encounters one, two, or even three levels higher than the PC's are pretty much the norm, given how resilient a party of heroes can be, the published modules tend to put a heavy coat of icing on that layer cake.
Sometimes literally!
-When Terrain Features Attack!
Really, when you get down to it, the concept of an encounter that takes place in extreme conditions is kind of cool. Imagine an epic swordfight, atop the ramparts of an old keep, rain pouring down and lightning flashing in the distance. Sounds awesome, doesn't it?
You can imagine the difficulties of fighting in the rain, as well as extreme wind and other factors. Characters using the environment in unusual ways, be it swinging from chandeliers to pulling off crazy Parkour-style acrobatics to out-maneuver their enemies.
Bonesnap’s Reflections: A Scales of War Adventure
When last we left our party, the Mighty Bonesnap had just been freed from an icy prison. At first the others were leery about the monstrous Bugbear, but after attempting to assist the group (after, of course, freeing himself), sharing with them a small cache of treasure, and generally claiming to be more useful to our heroes alive than dead, the party had a new Rogue.
Or did they?
As I've previously mentioned, Bonesnap was designed to be more tank support/controller than striker. With a group that has two Defenders (well, one pure Defender and a Hybrid), marking and locking down a single enemy with to-hit penalties didn't seem as useful.
D&D 4E: News from the Front! Part 1 – New Games
Image via Wikipedia
Hello, my name is James, and I'm a Gamer. Without any games to play, I finally bit the bullet and jumped into the new edition of D&D. I'm still a bit annoyed at WotC's presumption at presenting us with a whole new game we didn't ask for, but hey, time heals all wounds, and it's been 2 years.
So, first I'm going to talk about games. I'm in two…or three at the moment. I'm not really sure!
Scales of War Updated Character Sheets
Could all my Scales of War players please follow the link to the forum and post your up-to-date character sheet from the D&D Character Builder.
And if you have it, also post your character's backstory. If you have written it previously just copy and paste it so that I will have everyone in one location.
As we slowly move closer to the Epic tier of play, I am trying to work in more of each person's story. It is a little more difficult with pre-made adventures, but even a small nod to your origins or greater destiny would be fun. Thanks for your help.
