Hey guys
Just a very quick reminder about being too helpful. I know there are a lot of good guy paladin types that will bend over backwards to help folks, and I think that's great, in moderation.
Keep in mind, the encounters are scaled, but limited when a DM is not present. When you go through the goblin caves as a level 13, escorting someone much lower level, it defeats the purpose of creating a dangerous environment.
It's OK to do this occassionally, but please exercise moderation. Sometimes, for game balance, you have to step outside of your IC reactions and make sure a challenge is present.
When I see this happening as a DM, I WILL present the higher level with challenges. That may wind up being a very fatal situation for the one you are escorting. Remember, you are in dangerous areas, even if you're not the level you think the area is OOCly meant for.
Please, no responses regarding specific character reactions. As I said, it's OK in moderation. Just be mindful in the future--thanks.
