I recommend starting with the legendary ship in the lower right corner of the map as it is definitely the easiest of the four followed by the upper right one. I was able to beat both on my first attempt with a fully upgraded Jackdaw. The ones on the left of the map are extremely tough and will require a lot of trial and error to learn the tactics necessary to beat them Lower left is particularly frustrating, having invulnerable sides and a powerful mortar making it difficult to get at the ships vulnerable stern (took me over an hour, and several attempts, to defeat it and the Jackdaw had minimal hull left at the end).

There is a Feign Death spell in older editions of D&D. Feign Death
Range: Touch
By means of this spell, the caster (or any other creature whose levels of experience or Hit Dice do not exceed the wizard's own level) can be put into a cataleptic state that is impossible to distinguish from death. Although the person or creature affected by the Feign Death spell can smell, hear, and know what is going, no feeling or sight of any sort is possible. Thus, any wounding or mistreatment of the body is not felt and no reaction occurs; damage is only half normal. In addition, paralysis, poison, and energy-level drain cannot affect an individual under the influence of this spell. Poison injected or otherwise introduced into the body takes effect when the spell recipient is no longer under the influence of this spell, although a saving throw is permitted.
I'm Steven from Swindon. Started gaming shortly after AD&D 2e came out and have tried a variety of different games since then from Paranoia to Star Wars D6. I currently run Star Wars d20/Saga and PFRPG games completely solo for myself as I have not had a gaming group since my last player left years ago.
Ran the battle against the froghemoth last night. It ended abruptly in the first round when the rogue archer scored an 'instant kill', using the variant critical hit rules from the DMG.
I will eventually be running the AoW in the Realms and, barring any last minute changes, the party will likely consist of the following: Jewel - CN Succubus 1 (using the monster class from Savage Species)
As I don't want to mess up Daggerford, I have decided to make Diamond Lake Daggerford's darker cousin to the east. I have placed Diamond Lake midway between Daggerford and Secomber, on the edge of the Laughing Hollow (which is probably where I will put the Whispering Cairn once I get around to running the adventure). |
