Re: Help! Strange/monstrous PC: handling npc reaction?

Most normal locals would avoid the player (making signs of protection as they back away) and may avoid dealing with the other (known) party members as well. A 'quick' example of what powerful NPCs might do/order others to do would be the town guard being called upon to bring the PC to a cleric who ...

Re: Help! Strange/monstrous PC: handling npc reaction?

Maybe an NPC attempts to recruit this PC for a travelling circus or freak show? ''Come see Lizard-Arm, the bastard spawn of a swamp beast and a wayward milkmaid!" LOL, I could use it but my problem is more about putting the PC character in troubles for his look without killing him deliberately.

Re: Help! Strange/monstrous PC: handling npc reaction?

From your description it sounds like this might be part of a greater potential conflict in what the players would like to get away with vs. what you would prefer. This conflict may need to be dealt with separately on its own. On the monstrous PC issue in specific, remember you're within your right ...

Help! Strange/monstrous PC: handling npc reaction?

I have this problem. One of my player has chosen to play a semi-monstruous character(he could be confused for an abomination or some sort of reptile man). I told him he would be mistaken as a monster and templars/citizen will look for him and try to kill him/imprison him but he told me that he likes...

Re: How do you portray Van Richten, Watermay-Foxgrove, And V

Personally, if I were to use Van Richten as a mentor for my PCs then I would bend Van Richten around them in accordance to their group philosophy, or, overall "alignment". As an example, I would have zero issues with turning Van Richten into a fictional frontman, the creation of a good-in...

Re: I have a problem with D&D.

I'm sure that if my group would play once a week I would feel this factors a lot less, but we play once a month and thus it takes forever to make some progress. In my head after all those months we should've reached at least Roots of evil. I have 4 players but we are all 21+ Years old and everyone ...

Thanks all, if you have any other insight i'm thirsty for anything can help me getting more into the mentor role, since it would be my first time (usually my player learn thing on their skin) :azalin: We could start with how you might introduce him first.

Re: I have a problem with D&D.

Have you looked at running 1981 Basic, Holmes Basic, or a retroclone? I have no idea what those are, can you explain me a little of those... systems(?) ? Are they able to run with ravenloft setting (i know, in theory anything can potentially run with any setting, but you know, sometime things get c...

Re: Quoth the Raven - Themes wanted

maybe something about nature VS technology, and corruption of magic over nature. Also the corruption in general i think it's a really interesting theme to bring and explore. With corruption i mean the consequences of toying with souls, dark magic, dark rituals, and in general anything that could act...

I have a problem with D&D.

Lately i'm switching to a new RPG game, Symbaroum. For now i just read the core rulebook and so far I like it very much. Well I thought...
