I have all 10 tickets and am looking for more players; post here with class preferences if you'd like to join! Cost is $82 each.

note: priority will be given to regulars for the first few days of sign-ups, but we also love new recruits!

Order of the Hedgehog precepts:

• win as many combats as possible using ONLY Retribution damage (no attacking)
• mercilessly attack any foes too cowardly to engage us in melee
• must consent to combat-related spoilers
• Nightmare difficulty

1. David Zych: Cleric
2. Jason Efford: Paladin
3. BeLinda: Fighter
4. Daniel Moody: Dwarf/Bard
5. zinniz: Barbarian
6. Alex: Monk
7.
8.
9.
10.

Note that hedgehogs typically do not equip Charms of Awakened Synergy because we need that slot for other things.

Build for high RD , low AC (12 is usually good), and at least some melee DR . Tokens worth considering include

Ear: Earcuff of Ramparts
Neck: Amulet of Thorns
Bead: Bead of the Artificer (future 2026 completion token)
Torso: Craven Spike Suit or Plate of the Forge
Hands: Berserker Gloves
Back: Cloak of Retribution, Cloak of the Cacti
Waist: Belt of Thorns
Shirt: Craven Barbed Shirt
Shins: Deathward Greaves or Greaves of the Stalwart
Charm: Charm of the Hedgehog
Charm: Charm of Thorny Barbs
Charm: Charm of Thorns
Charm: Charm of Barbs
Ioun Stone: Ioun Stone Moonstone Orb
Underling: Underling Cleric
(various): Death Knight set

Remember you must actually take at least 1 point of melee damage per hit in order to inflict RD (so too much melee DR is counterproductive), but if you get hit 10 or 15 times then each point of melee DR you equip is worth 10 or 15 hp!

Please let the group know if you need to borrow tokens! I personally have extra Belt of Thorns (2), Cloak of Retribution (2), Charm of the Hedgehog (2), Greaves of the Stalwart (2), Charm of Thorny Barbs (1), Berserker Gloves (1), and MANY extra Amulet of Thorns, Plate of the Forge, Charm of Thorns, Charm of Barbs, Cloak of the Cacti, and Earcuff of Ramparts.

Fighter, please!

Throw me in for Dwarf Fighter or Bard
