Re: Grate in side room of fireball area

I somewhere read that the static of level eight would make no sense -too much empty space there, the whole level would crash/collapse. Maybe they built this door as a means to support the ceiling ;) As a sidenote, it could help to orientate or be some malicious obstacle for the party, because ghosts...

Re: Dungeon Dwellers

I just wondered: if a player encounters enemies, how can she tell how many there will be coming? In a worst case scenario, you build a complicated contraption for 4-5hours ;) and 14 critters attack.. could be that enemies are unlimited? briefing at level start? counter counting down scout unit? hope...

Re: CSB Dungeon Differences when using DSB

I just want to add that I very much liked the crowded place( worms everywhere 15-20 pairs?) Had a real strong party(imported dm-->csb) so around second to forth master level everything with 4 party members. I guess it is an incentive or challenge for high end party and end game. So maybe unsuited fo...

Re: Character strings have no representation for Neophyte le

well, at least the mystery is now solved why champions can get access to some actions before gaining an actual level - the prerequisite for that very action. or so I think. (example :: access to the melee-action before gaining the fighter level that would provide the champion with "melee" ...

Rasmus, maybe it would be an idea to start with a GDD/ game design document? When explaining, try starting with simplest first and all that is needed to play the game.

If I recall correctly, there is an awareness stat of monsters,no? Some value that determines, whether the monsters do notice the party. I also think there are two of these?
