Oftentimes those who complain about this aspect aren't using the reaction table much, it turns out.<br /><br />It's also pretty fun for the DM, in my opinion. Having to improvise on the spot a reason for a group of beast men being "Enthusiastically Friendly" makes for fun twists.Alexeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962792394148711578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-39650626049141549342014-07-18T11:40:46.255-04:002014-07-18T11:40:46.255-04:00Agreed.

When the party runs into a random NPC (like those on the encounter table in Better Than Any Man) I can make a roll and give the NPC some direction depending on that roll. The Skinned Man rolled a natural 12 ("helpful") and became a beloved party member (which eventually lead to 20 doppleganger versions of him slaughtering the party...)Crunk Posbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942696000058400028noreply@blogger.com
