Roleplayer, lapsed blogger, and full-time dad.

Started playing with AD&D 1st edition and started GMing with AD&D 2nd edition. Ran D&D 3rd edition, D&D 4th edition briefly, then became a fan of indie games and the OSR. Particularly fond of GMless and short-form games because they fit nicely into a busy schedule, and are very good for enticing non-gamers into the roleplaying hobby.

In the past that's made for an acceptable question, so I don't think this will get closed (or it will and then get reopened).

But you're using the morale rules for the enemy then? And reaction rolls (if appropriate) when they meet?

Are you using morale and henchmen rules? If not, those inject significant new variables into combat.

@Bryce A Game of Thrones even has a king lamenting that he can't just go about "adventuring" anymore because of the weight of kingly duties.

comment What alternatives are there for replacing the D&D memorize and forget magic rules
@KRyan Ah, I'm reading that differently. They asked for the proportion of spells to keep the same balance. I don't believe game balance is actually mentioned.

@KRyan Yes, there is such thing as a "non-char-op" game: it's one where people don't care about the power balance because their play objectives are orthogonal. Just because the power-balance axis exists in every game doesn't mean it's relevant to every game.
