Tips and Tricks for the Player by Chasmyr |
1)A glass vial full of oil, be it lamp oil or something more noxious, can have many uses- a)douse objects or opponents for burning b)slick things up for pursuers-this may become a hot reception if they are carrying torches! c)a fiery blockade to corral melee opponents into a killing zone d)or, you can use it to create the killing ground! e)a fuse can be rigged up for the vial and speed the fun along! |
2)Delivery systems are nice, especially when they are so cheap in game! Arrows and bolts can be easily modified with a lil creativity to carry any sort of payload to a target- a)small breakable containers of acid b)fire trapped tips-mixed with a little oil or smoke powder for brighter effects! c)gaseous poisons |
3)If you are using the area of effect attacks, like vaporous poisons, or fire trapped oil containers, aiming at the dude with AC-10 is insane! Hit the ground under his feet! It's generally a lot easier to hit! |
4)Creative use of spells with a suspended duration is greatly encouraged. This can be uased to create many "one-shot" magical items and effects, that if properly managed by the player, will allow one bang-up whallop of a bunch to your game... |
5)Spells and poisons that automatically cause any damage for 2 or more rounds consecutively are great little toys for occupying enemy spellcasters and psionicists. No concentration....no fire ball! |
