Please put any feedback you have or non-gameplay discussion here.

If we don't have enough players I will make at least one character unless one of you wants to run 2 characters.

My posts might be a little slim today and tomorrow because of travel and such, but I'll try to keep an eye on things. Life's back to normal on Sunday though (and back to Pacific time) so from then on I should be good.


unless one of you wants to run multiple characters I will make a character tonight so we have a 3 PC party.

Go ahead and run a char for this first encounter. After I get a feel for things I may make another one for the rest of the combats.


I finally have a chance to put together my character. Hopefully I will then be able to move things forward on this.

Initial point: From what I see, it looks like you're trying to make even 1st level a "sweet spot"(by giving even a 1st lvl char a +6 to hit).
To that end, I'm not sure if that makes Diehard either OP or simply a necessary feat for all 1st levels. Giving +1 lvl of hp makes you almost twice as powerful (the way that a 2nd lvl PFS char is twice as powerful).
Take the data for what you will, but Isagoras' Diehard feat was the deciding factor here.

Also, maybe don't give all the orcs 2handed weapons? If you see both the rogue and warrior are sword and board, maybe give 2 orcs that as well?


I am merely a playtester.

But yes I agree diehard could probably use a nerf. We can try it again with a mix of sword/ board and 2 Handed.


What do people want to fight next?
