New player dungeons (low level favored)

The best "low level/starter level" I have ever played was some areas infested with "rabid" badgers. Your quest was to secure some samples for further study (which lead to other quests/tie-ins surrounding the "disease").


Simply fantastic - a badger with rage is actually something to fear!




I remember that server i could swear when the gm was angry they buffed hte badgers a bit

My point? It's all about execution, what you do with "worn out" encounters. In this instance, killing rats in the basement is no mean feat (there are lots, and they swarm if you're not careful) and turns into an amusing and dangerous quest with a moral quandary, lore about lycanthropes and more than one solution.


 


Completely agree.  I actually have something planned where the player is asked to investigate the basement of an inn and it's strongly hinted that rats are the problem...but it turns out to be something far worse (and the "quest-giver" was perfectly aware of that fact from the get-go).

eh in my levle one quest lineup the questgiver was not entirely aware of the full sutuation just the rats in the sotrehoouse being uncommon. turnn out some kobold shamenn are up to no good and its chaseing hte rats away form their normal home.
