I think Frostgrave strikes a much better balance. When you level up you improve alot and feel like your getting rewarded. But you don't feel like things stop been a threat. Your never going to have a boring scrap with rats or goblins. With a D20 roll. You know you can die. This is frustrating to some people. But I think it's very realistic. Makes the defensive spells have huge value, an means there is always a chance your wizard might not make it. Think this is one big reason why the Frostgrave system appeals to me over RPG.<br /> This game should always carry a risk an we should never worry if we have to reroll a wizard sheet.<br /> No safety net for Wizards. Enjoy the challenge.GingerMogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989772444130687402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-44649780132567498362016-10-24T05:42:08.100-07:002016-10-24T05:42:08.100-07:00http://www.abingdonwargames.org.ukhttp://www.abingdonwargames.org.ukBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710956186531293608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-89890579563397136182016-10-24T05:41:47.456-07:002016-10-24T05:41:47.456-07:00http://www.abingdonwargames.org.ukhttp://www.abingdonwargames.org.ukBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710956186531293608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-51744293452105937572015-07-29T13:20:12.519-07:002015-07-29T13:20:12.519-07:00Is there a club in Abingdon?

Don't quite recall ever seeing a game have so much impact on forums as yours - good luck sir...<br /><br />The Shed will not doubt feature Frostgrave in the near future<br /><br />All the Best <br /><br />Eric the Shed<br /><br />(PS I work just down the road in Abingdon and regularly stay in Oxford - would be happy to buy you a beer.)Eric the Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679305263405486078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-59579022314974563922015-07-24T11:17:10.902-07:002015-07-24T11:17:10.902-07:00Many thanks to everyone who commented on game bala...Many thanks to everyone who commented on game balance. It is an important issue, and one that I am continuing to monitor and think about. In the end, how big an issue it is, and what may or may not be needed to correct it will be up to individual players. The scenario above is just one such to potentially deal with any imbalance and perhaps not even the best. <br /><br />For now, can I ask that we leave that issue aside with regards to this post and confine any comments to thoughts about he scenario itself. joe5mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381588340232280771noreply@blogger.com
