Sleeping should not only be done to regain health, but also to regain any spells that you have casted, or gives you the chance to change your spell list if you are a spell caster(mage or druid). If you are like the paladin, it gives you the time to restore your hands-on-healing. There should also be a chance to be woken up by radom monsters with the chance depending on the area you sleep in. Inns should be the best place, but outside is my prefered place to rest.

Once again, this is not Dungeons and Dragons: you have a manabar to cast spells, you don't have to remember them (I always wondered: is it the wizards having memory problems beacause of the age: they cannot remember spells even if they use it 3 time per day?).

and having to remember spellswould be stupid. cause its like riding a bike, once u learn u never forget. duh

In D&D, spells are not memorized so much as prepared. A spell has components - ingredients, instilling magic, mental preperation - which takes several hours to do. The spell can then be triggered with a gesture or phrase or some other method. This is what "memorizing" spells really is.

Sorry, I didn't know that.

No need to apologise. I used to think the same. I only know because I shelled out for the D&D core rule books.

and the inn can be raided by the guards for a theft, or the beer/wine/(tequila <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />) is illegal, like they make the game in the bootleg era. and the inn could be raided by thieves or orcs and u have to defend.

As long as it's a planned raid and not a random encounter. Monsters tend to stay away from towns. The Inn should catch fire too with you waking in a blazing room. You only have a few seconds to grab your equipment and get out. Actually, that's probably a bit too harsh losing everything in a panic. I think the fire could be good though.

Also, it would be a good point to make the hero decide: Defend from the roof with ranged combat, fight melee inside, or escape for yourself. Or if you're in league with the Orcs, you can help plan the raid.

Each direction would open different story arcs:

Inside, you would be pitted against the Orc Liutenant who escapes to fight another day.

On the roof you go up against a bizare winged beast who eventually leads you to a mysterious mountain cave.

Running for your life destroys the inn causing key Orc characters to survive and Human characters to die.

It's probably getting a little too complex story-wise, but works well in theory.

yeah and if that was to happen wit every thing it wud probably take up a few more disks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Yeah. I thought it was a bit too much too. I think we really need to get into pen & paper D&D. Far more versitile.

I've never played pen & paper, what's it like???

A bunch of people gather arround a big table with rulebooks and dices. There's a gamemaster who describes the rules and throws the dice for different reasons.
It's like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> without a computer. The graphics depend on your brain <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.
