    I'm partially remaking his character. Yevor before was just boring to play, both in and out of combat, but...

    So far, I rewrote his backstory and personality. He even has an actual last name now!

    From my end I am figuring out how to re-work combat a bit to make it more interesting. That secret stat may come into play, idk.

    I know I'm going to maybe use injuries on critical hits, and massive damage rules.

    I will also be more wiling to accept not-so-normal actions, like if you are knocked prone using a reaction to grab some dirt as you fall and throw it at the attacker, blinding them for one round or something.

    Consider the rules for climbing and disarming in the last chapter of the DMG.

    Also, maybe some paragon monsters?

    I actually looked through the list in the DMG, like climbing, tumbling, disarming, cleaving, etc. I am fine with using those, and encourage it if it makes combat more fun. Cleaving is especially cool, and I could see disarming in certain situations. Not Florfy5 wanted some kind of charge action (b/c feats are difficult) and I'm looking into that one, but no promises.

    But if it just turns combat from "boringly attack enemy a bunch" into "boringly disarm enemy then attack a bunch" with no real impact, I may need to reconfigure it yet again.
    ________________________________
    Also, not for random encounters, but paragon monsters are 100% something I want to use. Maybe for the big NPCs that may be party threats, maybe for the BBEG if you are stronger than I thought while fighting him, idk

    (I wonder how a Legendary Paragon Monster would work)

    Probably only give them back legendary actions on their "main" turn.

    K the market is in a central building similar to in Alice's village that combines market, mess hall, and official stuff. They mostly sell farming and forestry related stuff.

    Since then:
    - Whole town is racist towards non-humans
    - Alas is currently at 0 hp and has a Wisp coming towards him
    - Althaios is getting into a tavern fight
    - Heat, Caligo, Erevan, and Ti Lin are trying to solve a puzzle thing, and Ti Lin's necklace has gone missing
    - No clue what Yevor is doing

    Can I get an OOC check on what alignment Alth is? He breaks through windows and shoot guys when they don't give him free rooms.

    In regards to what you were saying about combat earlier, I would generally try to reward stuff like what Alas does, where he rarely directly attacks but instead tried to exploit the situation.

    On the other hand, this shouldn't penalize those who still want to be full-on fighters.

    Fudge. I thought he was Chaotic Neutral. But no, it says he's Chaotic Good. That certainly needs to change.

    *shrug*

    Perception? And whatever you get for your outcome, add 1

    Yeah. So I get stuck in this weird situation as a DM where I need to rewards creative combatants, but also make it fun for not-so-creative ones. I like Alas because he relies very little on actual combat or his magic, instead, he sets up situations and makes things happen.

    But, naturally, I don't want to make things harder for those who prefer head-on combat.

    You see my problem? I do have some plans for more fun encounters, but we will do that when it comes

    Personally, I'd say Chaotic Neutral is a stretch, but you're the DM.

    He's a criminal, yes, but he doesn't seem evil. Like, he doesn't seem like he would pass the Torture Test, so I wouldn't quite say he's evil. He is 100% Chaotic, and definitely not good...

    What were you thinking?
