I guess with the leveling system, it could be a more vague guildline for the players to keep in mind while role playing. Levels are close? Try and keep the fight balanced. Enemy much higher level? Players should be able to honestly show themselves being pushed back or hurt. Players much higher than enemy? They can write how the enemy can barely scratch them or toy with them a bit if they want.

Levels of course, shouldn’t be the only factor that decides a fight. Maybe the enemy has a skill that even if they are lower level, makes them tricky or annoying to fight if the players can’t figure out how to counter it. Players can in turn also find ways through the fight to exploit weaknesses or figure a strategy that may tip the scales in their favor in stronger fight.

The one thing I will say about going this route is that if you can trust your players to role play fairly and not just always somehow have an easy time with everything in the quest because they wrote they did.

I've been thinking it would probably be left best to leave it superfluous. Give players a level, and set bosses at a higher one, mooks lower, and challenges at around our level. How much they hurt it will really depend on the creature some beasts may have high mage resistances, or some may have tougher scales. Leveling up can be done off screen mainly.

But before we make an OOC I will probably need to insist on either co-gm, or that everyone helps make some missions during the adventures. I don't really have a good track record when it comes to back to back missions I usually do best in the 'epic' encounters.

While I’ve admittedly have not run a game myself, I certainly would be willing to help out in what capacity I can if that’s okay.

Alright well if you're willing to give me a helping hand I'll start the OOC tomorrow if possible assuming @Hammerman@Helios J Mears Are still in this to make at least an ok sized party, assuming no one else joins.

@vancexentan Hey I would be interested joining.

@dragonpieceWell you're free to join if you like I see no issues in it.

I'm personally going to be taking the Sword Hero slot just an FYI to everyone. I don't feel like the other three options suit my play style as a player. Any hero slots not taken by the time the IC is made will be replaced by an NPC hero to even things out who sets out on their own shenanigans.

@dragonpiece@Spectral@Hammerman@Helios J Mears well here's the ooc not sure if I'll get everyone who wanted to join but here's what I got.
