E1 7(or 8?) Token Challenge

TOPIC: E1 7(or 8?) Token Challenge

E1 7(or 8?) Token Challenge 5 years 1 month ago #169

You raise a good point about the number of combats. Maybe it would be better to swap the charm in and the gloves of Weapon Finesse out.

You try to get them to play the game, but all they want to do is play the rules. - Ardak Kumerian

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend - Faramir

I'm inclined to agree, 3 combats does seem to be a reason to make sure everyone has more HP, as we will likely need it for the puzzles.

So, we're now basically doing a 4 token challenge, with CoAS as our 4th locked in token?

I think more HP is a good way to go for everyone, and I love the idea of just taking the hits and dealing with it, while preparing for more heals.

Well we aren't necessarily taking hits. The Pally can guard 2. Though we could just make him a glass cannon as well either in range or melee since his guarding the correct 2 any combat might just be a waste...

The more I think on it, the more I think the best defense might be a good offense. Guarding 2 means the 4 tokens would be
Amulet of guarding
Armor
Kilt or Shield
SRoEC or RoH

This would allow sacrifice once, lay on hands once.

Is that the best way to go? I still think we need the Paladin if we don't go the guard route, but it seems like we might want to consider
Boots
Kilt
Weapon
Crown (for a 2nd sacrifice or lay on hands)

I agree the Pally is good to have just for the extra heals and possible need for sacrafice. I was more just wondering if we need the wall Pally or instead as you say just go full offense. Instead of the 8 token challenge this is turning into the No armor challenge...lol.

I can see playing as an armorless party as being rather entertaining. I wonder how often you were attacked and missed as the Paladin in the last one.

That I cannot say as I don't recall. I would be willing to play a weaponed Pally as it is different than what I did last time. I am still going with the SRoEC over the Kilt though.

That would work for me as well.

I think 4 Str and 5 HP vs. -10 from 4 sources and 3 retribution is completely a judgement call, and I will defer to whomever is playing Paladin.

So, I'm thinking we're going all glass cannons and healers, no tanks and no armor, maybe one cloak of blending for the bard?

Sounds about right to me. I think we still go for the CoAS just to have a little more cushion of HP? You agree or do we go full glass cannon?

No armor to me definitely means full CoAS. I would think we will be alright actually, but we shall see.

So, I'm thinking of Elf Wizard rather than Ranger. If someone else wants Ranger, it would be theirs of course.

Wait you are thinking 2 wizards? Wizards are the most fragile.

I was thinking 2 Wizards, instead of one and a ranged Ranger.

I think a melee ranger would be better, if we have enough ranged damage in other ways.
