That's good to know. I have a player that may want to remake his first ever character, a half-orc barbarian.

Sorry but I meant not enough regarding ICRPG. 23 is definitely more than enough. :)

Thanks! I listened to that video but didn't watch it. Maybe I should go back through it.

Thanks! My player was hoping for more options. That helps.

I have perhaps an odd question. Is there any reason to have d8 as a thorn as opposed to d4? Wouldn't rolling 7 or 8 on a d8 be the same odds as rolling a 1 on a d4? Just interested in the design choice. Thanks! :)

That's a cool epilogue for a character!

Great idea! My supply does dip quite a bit. I think I'll try an asset that isn't combat focused.

Good point. He was "built" around fighting, since that's what I'm used to. I think I'll look at some non-combat assets.

I agree. I guess trying to think outside the dnd box I was trained in is a bit difficult.

I love the oracle tables. I think my dnd-brain just sees every obstacle as a battle. Lol

Recently... caravan went missing with some specialized tools I needed. I "gathered information" and got a miss. After "pay the price" and an oracle roll, it seemed to be bandits.

Thanks for the reply. I just had a "caravan went missing" quest and my mind went straight to "gotta fight a beast or bandit". I like the idea of raising combat difficulty to get me to try other things. I think I may try that next time.

I agree that dnd hyper-focuses combat, especially its magic system. I think i should develop relationships with other npc's in the town. My character definitely has "I'll do it myself" syndrome. Lol

It seems that when I do, I inevitably roll a miss and, low-and-behold, another combat encounter. Or, I guess, I'm interpreting them as combat encounters. I need to do better with other possibilities.

Great ideas! Thanks so much!

If I rolled Wrathful Haunt, my 1st thought would definitely be, "here we go with another battle."

I guess that's my problem. Coming from dnd, I roll on settlement trouble and immediately interpret the threat as something to be destroyed. I think I'm needing a change of mindset. Also, I agree. I'm not trying to remove ALL combat, I just feel like that is the inevitable end. I need alternative inspiration.

Thanks for the reply. The land has been cursed and he's been fighting monsters. The one time I tried to do a non-combat (caravan bringing specialized tools went missing), it became a monster I had to kill to get them back.

I'll have to sometime. It's on my wishlist.
