I agree. For this event I am probably going to focus on scrolls and build mostly a defensive Bard and count on the +2/+4 party bonus.

A question of strategy for the group.

Do you think it is better to use a Shaed cloak as a 2nd cloak, or to use another save cloak for the +3 to all saves?

Of course I'm asking specifically as a paladin planning on wearing amulet of guarding, but would be interested in both specific to me and general responses.

So ideally in a tough fight like TH your saves should be near 20 for all classes (ideally). If you are already close to that for all three save types then I would say either Shadowskin or Shaed - depending on event.

Sorry, yes Brad and I switched, so he's on Friday and i'm on Saturday.
I have 1 ticket for Friday and 2 for Saturday and wanted all 3 together same day same group.
That has now been accomplished.

OK, my two friends are:

Holly: wants to play a sliding class, Paladin preferred
Mauricio: wants to play Wizard or Elf Wizard

ideally they'd stay in my group as they are now. Hopefully you guys can work it out since I am mostly offline right now.

Thanks!

Thanks for organizing this Ed. My main criteria is that the 3 adventurers I have tickets for all go in the same party.

For the conflicts I'd propose we see if we can get everyone involved in the conflict to agree to roll a die or other random element to determine who gets it.

Looks like we've got 3 people who want ranger, the difficulty may be also in keeping my 3 and kirk's 3 together while satisfying that.

We've got 4 people who want Paladin, so something has to give there.

If you can come up with a solution that puts my party of 3 in one team with two classes being Ranger and Wizard feel free to switch the third to any of: Babarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Dwarf Fighter, Fighter, Monk, or Paladin. This could potentially eliminate contention on Paladin.

That is handy. But I don't hold onto scroll tokens. So I will cast spells off the card and if I can get an instrument on loan do bardsong. Definitely no Lore checks with this Bard.

I thought all the conflicts were solved with me switching to Bard.

If not, then I may throw my name into the hat if it comes down to a dice roll.

It does. Just posted the new lineup.

Ed

So I had to make a few adjustments but it looks like have a draft lineup - please take a look. Kirk and Matthew adds are all in the same group.

Some of the changes I made were:

• Rob F to Dwarf Fighter
• Logon the Dragon Lord needed to move from Team Raven to Team Stu to make 10 max players in Team Raven (for Kirk's party).
• Had to move Holly (Kirk's friend) to Human Fighter - Paladin was taken in all teams that could fit 3 for Kirk
• Added all the remaining players except the 2 unknown ones. They can be in Team Eric and have their choice of Elf Wizard, Monk, Rogue, or Wizard.

If this lineup works for people please start polishing your character cards. Can I get a volunteer for Team Raven/Stu do to the party card. I will do the Team Eric one.

If you are in Team Eric please send me your build.

Ed

Send them, not post them, please.
