Brecht mountains

[ycleption]

So, I was just with a group who got clobbered in the Brecht mountains. I'm not putting this in the bugs forum for overpoweredness, because even though it's close to the starting area, I think the lack of road and general atmosphere should be a bit of a warning that this is not an area for low-level characters. That said, how about a "danger, treacherous mountains" sign? Or maybe some flavor text upon entering: "the mountain chill begins to seep in to your bones, and you can hear the distant punding of large feet" type of thing?

I'm not sure if it will still be that way after the update with the whole encounter overhaul thing; that said, I'm not totally against things being not quite low level enough near a starting area, as long as there IS plenty of warning and talk about it, ensuring that a new character with no interaction with another PC or forum-reading would know that is a nasty area before setting out.

I think it will probably be made more starting area-ish, but just in general practice I agree that it's possible to make things a little over the ideal if it's made clear, just to avoid the frustration. If it's a surprise, THAT gets really old. hehe.

The mountains have been decreased in power (for a few areas in there) and I believe pankoki plans to put a sign near the transition in to the mountains that talks about the dangers of the mountains in an atmospheric way.
