So, took my son and his friends (a group of 13 year old boys) through the beginner adventure over the weekend. I have not been a GM since I was in Middle School and honestly have just gotten back into RPG (Pathfinder and now D&D) just in the last 2 years. So, I am worried that I have been doing something wrong.
It seemed to me that all of the combat was generally incredibly easy. For this group of boys, facing Malefax, only one boy had incurred any damage at all. And, when they went up against Malefax, Pon dropped him with one hit (light sabre and a crit). This just seemed way to easy. I understand it is a beginner game...I am just worried I may have made it all too easy.
Can you please walk me through a battle between Pon and Malefax. Just how to form the dice pool and why...
