Yes, ...Ah yes, I'd forgotten about the scaling. Yes, that is a problem. When we were playing <i>D&D4</i>, we played a one-shot at 11th level, just to see what it was like. It was the same as 1st level, which didn't help to endear the game to us.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-76140643691385667852011-08-28T08:03:53.896+09:002011-08-28T08:03:53.896+09:00Kelvin - the skill system is much improved, except...Kelvin - the skill system is much improved, except for the moving goal posts issue. What's the point of increasing level bonuses on skills, if most DCs also increase with your level? Seriously, reading through the skill descriptions, a good 80% or more had DC keyed to level. And they keep the silliness of monster knowledge being tied to monster 'level' so low level characters know nothing about dragons or vampires, but have a good chance to know something about a super rare low level creature. So it's not perfect.<br /><br />Whisk - read chapter 2 of The Hobbit out loud to my son this morning. That made up for the boring reading yesterday.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-25230027768920802802011-08-28T00:51:17.532+09:002011-08-28T00:51:17.532+09:00Not a fan of dull reading.Not a fan of dull reading.The Happy Whiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438469476168485775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-19170962217269504402011-08-27T23:37:29.213+09:002011-08-27T23:37:29.213+09:00One thing I've always liked about D&D4 is ...One thing I've always liked about <i>D&D4</i> is the skill system, and I approve of the efficiency of the level-based bonuses to skills. It's just the rest of the system that did my head in.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
