| I've never played a PnP game before. Could someone tell me how people play it? For example, the DM rightly should create the scenarios and plots, and vary the encounters for an interesting game. However what about things like attack rolls and damage rolls and attacks of opportunity, feats used, resistances available; are these supposed to be solely carried out by the players? Does the DM go, From within the gloom of the dank undergrowth, three goblins jump out, and attempt an ambush - then give the players the goblins' stats and let the players play out the battle themselves, or does the DM handle everything directly? Is there supposed to be some sort of battle grid or map to place enemy and friendly markers or something?
Thanks... although I've played all the Infinity Engine games (but completed only BG2: SoA+ToB and PS:T), I've no idea how the real thing works. |
