I'm playing solo and play my three characters Valeros, Merisiel and Sajan. Just completed Perils of the lost coast. Black Fang was defeated. My first try with Black Fang was missed due to time(blessing). The second try was epic. Black Fang cornered and one last Blessing card to play by Sajan. A blessing from Merisiel, and two by Sajan allowed for a sure win. Indeed it was.
However, going into Burnt offerings and future expansions, I'm wondering if I should level up a character that uses spells to eventually join up with my group of three ? It seems all the checks and some of the spells could become beneficial for the group as a whole. The only reason I stuck to three from the start was because I was playing all the characters and thinking four might be too much. But after playing a while now, it doesn't seem so bad. Except for the extra locations I would have to add. So basically I'm wondering if anyone has played through without using a spell caster.
