  • This wasn’t pathfinder, but I think it translates over to any fantasy game. The party was made up of an alchemist, a ranger, and two psions (magic-users). So I prepared a small roadside encounter of 3 bandits. They were escorting an old elderly knight to town.

    The players had made their characters in such a a way that they had no usable skills so I had to pull a deus ex machina and have the old rescue rescue their asses. They were getting slaughtered. I think my story stresses the importance of having players communicate during the character creation process to make characters that make up a well-rounded party.

    I also learned that what I thought was an easy encounter should’ve been dialed back even further.
