This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: jedimastertFey are fun opponents. The non evil ones will mess with PCs for fun. They are opponents PCs may not be able to effectively harm and may not want to harm due to fear of retribution from other fey.


But that sort of encounter is too difficult for the Tactical Referee, er DM, to run in today's D&D. You can't build hard and airtight rules around an encounter with a mischievious pixie or satyr. How do you figure out the CR? The XP? And how do you expect the players to handle a situation where there are no dice to roll or special abilities on their character sheets to guide them?

No, it's just too messy for the finely calibrated game of tactical combat that WotC intends 4E to be.

D&D could use a hell of a lot more PVP content.  At least they're keeping some folks around as quest givers and merchants.

Wait...this looks familiar...

Thanks for the link. It looks good. And according to some of the links from the first page it sounds like they're giving dryads the ability to be hot chicks or ass kickers, depending on how the encounter goes.
