Does anyone have some tips as a GM for when players constantly roll 7-9? I haven't GM'd a game for a looooong time, and I started running short of how to make combat a lot more interesting. Also, I suppose, how to make interesting encounters period - situations that are more than "Welp theres a goblin and hes rushing at you, what do you do?". We are all former D&D players who haven't played in a long time, so our first reactions are "Well I guess I attack them".

I mean, he manages to complain that there's no explanation of what advantages a Reach weapon offers I did a writeup for 13th Age a few weeks back on standardizing weapon damages, and importing tags from dungeon world. Didn't get much feedback, but what I did went completely over one guy's head on G+. Myrmidongs posted:Awkward: It drops damage die down a step in close-quarters situations (D10 becomes D8, etc) quote:Awkward - as "close quarter situations" isn't defined in 13th Age, you might want to adjust this somehow He complained about that, but not about Reach. I mean, I even made it explicit what negative effect it might have, but apparently that isn't enough. Myrmidongs fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jan 3, 2015 |

gnome7 posted:Actually, Close Quarters is already a term in 13th Age. It's a keyword for spells. If a spell is Close Quarters, then you can use it while engaged with an enemy without triggering an opportunity attack. If a spell is not, then casting it while next to an enemy is dangerous. I dunno I just sort of assumed people could figure it out on their own without having to break it down into explicit 5-foot radius stuff. That and there is already a small section in the 13A book which already basically says GMs should be free to penalize huge weapons in tight spaces. Again, though I just never figured anyone would care about the semantics of "close quarters vs tight spaces" let alone read that and not understand.
