I've been thinking about how to make Luke usage more appealing to players. So far, not a single one of my players has spent any of their luck. It may be that I've only run a few games at 0-1st level and they do not wish to waste the stat, but there may be more to it. I'm thinking of allowing a luck ...

Before this game I was pondering what to do with multiple 1st level characters as well. Obviously I decided to just keep the character funnel going for the time being.

Nice summary, smathis. I hope my session goes as well tomorrow. I'm concerned that I may have some stiff competition for players - Lots of games being run that day. This is one I may end up having to reschedule for my regulars. I too have some concerns regarding the lack of any ability advancement, ...

I was thinking of trying something along these lines, too. It seems more elegant than listing specific allowed weapons for each class. It seems strange to say that wizards can use "usual list of old-school magic-user weapons plus longsword, because that's what Gandalf had" and instead jus...
