I have a Giln's shield, no need to borrow

unless you are playing the pally someone will need to borrow.

Details....

So, I guess before we decide on Crown for Paladin, did the last group end up using the sacrifice power at all?

Good point. i think so, but honestly i don’t remember if so it likely was in the last room to give the wizard one more chance to cut himself. Per my previous post we had a 3 people dead in the last room, so likely the wizard the rogue and maybe the paladin after he sacrificed himself but honestly i don’t remember.

If it (sacrifice) isn’t used before room 6 the crown could give the paladin an extra set of lay on hands for another 15 heals before the final room (assuming we finish room 6 with time to do this). could be helpful if the last room is combat but if it is puzzle then the crown would have been a wasted slot. I don’t know that it is the best option just putting it out there was an option.

It's a great, unconventional option.

also great for bard troubador

Extremely good point!

Cleric: 1-Healing, 2-Support (restore spell/power, prayer, bless, etc)
Druid: 1- Healing, 2- Spell damage?
Bard: 1-Support (Bardsong, possibly enhanced), 2- ?
Barbarian: 1- Melee Damage
Wizard: 1-Spell Damage
Elf Wizard: 1-Spell Damage
Paladin: 1-Defense/Tank
Monk: 1-Melee Damage
Ranger: 1-Melee Damage? Ranged Damage? Could do both with Thor's.
Rouge: 1-Puzzle Clues, 2: Melee Damage? Support with Flank?

So is there a consensus that this is the 10 classes we are going to run?

Now that PAX is done, I wanted to bring this back up.

I could absolutely be convinced to go to 8 rather than 7 if it would help us fill. Not sure how others feel.

After TDC those on the run thought a 6 token Challenge was the next logical step.

Some thoughts.

BPSymngton shadowed us for much of that run. I’m sure he noticed the relative ease with which we moved through it.

The difficulty of Nightmare was cranked up shortly after that.

The addition of another treasure enhancing token effectively reduces combat useful tokens by another 1.

Do I recall correctly that the healing nerf comes into effect at Origins?


I’m up for a challenge, even certain death, but let’s think about what has changed before we decide.

You are correct on all counts.

A 7 token challenge at TDC would be an 8 token challenge, given the addition of a new TE since then.

The errata on lenses of divine sight and cloak of shadowskin starting will have huge effect. Not doubling healing will make this much tougher.

I cant speak to nightmare specifically, but if we use this years modules as a guide, 8 would probably be extremely challenging.

I think it sounds like we may be facing certain Death at 7, but I'm up for either.
