Ah, the internet, where you can argue over all sorts of things. The most recent
internet argument I got into was with someone explaining that monsters with a no-save level drain are badwrong and there is no reason to have them other than,
"...imbecilic blind worship of the past..."
Uh-huh.
Of course, I had already pointed out some reason for having such monsters in your game, to wit;
- Instilling terror in the players
- Driving quests for spells, etc. to get Restoration
- To 'throttle' level progression without nerfing XP/raising the bar or railroading players
Now, I guess I might have just tossed in a link to a
past article of mine, but there is that to say and more, so here we go.
