That bespeaks a flawed system.Sunrunner44's rules of Foedom*:1. Dragons are world-shaking fearsome enemies, even dumb-ass young ones, and are usually a ticket to an early grave. The re-charge mechanic (from 3E? 4E?) was stolen and used. Hell yeah! The red dragon isn't going to breathe on you three times then stay to fight... he's going to breathe on you as often as possible if you think you're going to sit there toe-to-toe. And the dragon is aware that breathing on the lake creates superheated steam...or breathing on his coin pile will make slag, or that breathing on the tar creates an inferno, or whatever. It's a *&($% dragon. Of course he knows.2. fodder is fodder for high level characters. And any high level schmuck that thinks fodder is disposable hasn't faced any arms of goblins waiting in ambush while the nail you with wave after wave of arrows - oh, and yes, they're nailing the obvious jackass in the robes, cause Goblins are stupid, but not dumb, and know that the smelly things he holds and the brain-twisting sounds lead to bad things happening. Better to pincushion him...plus, he's not wearing armor. High level characters are supposed to take out 10 of the little devils per round, but that's why there's so many of them to start with. And why would you think their shaman hasn't figured out the 'Silence 15' radius' on a pebble trick?**3. Ogres and trolls like to mass attack a single guy because they're big and bad, but mine always spend a round infighting after a kill (even during the battle), but then the body gets torn to pieces and eaten (roll of X or above, and I always let the 'new body' roll it, just to be mean), while in battle normally. They're ogres people. They don't roast the PC's with duck sauce and fennel. Raw is just fine too. 4. Not every adventure is CR-correct, punks. I don't care if you're 2nd level, if the die roll says 'black dragon', well, he lives around here. Run and hide, fool. Just because you see a monster doesn't mean you can go kick his ass. If he's flying around, check the direction, then go loot his cave while he's busy eating the livestock or whathaveyou. Then blame it on the goblins. Gold is the best source of XP. I'm still not convinced the whole goal of B2 wasn't to sack the damn keep.Sunrunner44 - old skool, yo.* never before really considered, but I'm a fairly consistent GM.** Pathfinder has gotten goblins more right then has ever been done before. "Horsechopper" and "Dogslicer" as the key 'racial' weapons? Fascination with fire leading to bad things? Brilliant.
