It highlights resource management, problem solving and gives a sense of a living world.<br /><br />Other types of treasure I like to give is art work and personal items. These can be used to tell a story or reveal something about the world. For example, in a previous session the party found some tapestries in Castle Hareth. Not only were they big and bulky and difficult to transport but the pictures depicted contained clues.<br /><br />Much better than giving them a chest full of gold coins.P_Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374589162025099763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-41799065854191190502009-07-07T10:26:56.356-06:002009-07-07T10:26:56.356-06:00I like the barrels conundrum.

Sell it to thirsty monsters or other delvers! :)AndreasDavourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170806742393291962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-65240074839107853912009-07-06T22:38:38.116-06:002009-07-06T22:38:38.116-06:00So far the plan is to just let them take another a...So far the plan is to just let them take another attack/action but with the caveat that it cannot be with their weapon. So some examples from the Unofficial Games blog:<br />-Punching someone with a free hand.<br />-Tripping someone<br />-Kicking a chair between their legs<br />-Tackling them into a grapple<br />-Throwing a mug of ale from the nearby table<br />-Having the arrow you fired miss, but hit a pipe full of steam and scald them instead.<br /> <br />The exact mechanics for each will be determined on the fly but will be done using mechanics already in the game - attack rolls, saving throws, etc.P_Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374589162025099763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-31858664872547778082009-07-06T22:28:17.885-06:002009-07-06T22:28:17.885-06:00Since B/X doesn't have Attacks of Opportunity,...Since B/X doesn't have Attacks of Opportunity, are you just treating the lucky number as a free extra melee attack?JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.com
