This was very enlightening. Thank you very much. I see the monsters and NPCs in a completely different light now. Thank you!

Another newbie question: When using the monsters in the rulebook, do I ADD the 10 S and T and DEDUCT the 5 Ag from the stats of creatures with the Large trait (fx Trolls, page 324). Or are the stats already adjusted to the creature's traits? Fx do a troll (on page 324) have 55 S or does it actually ...

Thank you very much, Orin. This really helps

How would I go about it, step by step?

I can't figure out how to properly have my players fight several opponents at once.

In 1st it was simple, but in 4th with opposed tests... Is it possible to damage two opponents in one turn? Or just one?
How do you do this properly? (Is there a step by step tutorial available somewhere?).

Thank you guys so much for the input. You've given me some great ideas for my game.

I just recently switched from 1st to 4th.
Are there magic points in 4th edition? Or some drawbacks from casting too much magic?

Thank you very much

As GM I've been using 1st edition rules and campaign books to play up until now. Now that I've bought the 4th edition rulebook, I'd like to convert the party's gold (and the gold in future adventures which I'm getting from 1st edition books) to 4th edition. How would you convert money from 1st going...
