I am DR Venkman. My Degrees in psychology and parapsychology mean that I am perfectly capable of writing detailed dissertations on my adventures with the society, given that you use the magic word (besides it beats a career in the house cleaning or food service industry).

FIRST ADVENTURE - 6-06 Hall of the flesh eaters OR "So they wanted to play rough? We can play rough!"

Using my mastery of the mind I used a big green force wall to split the first encounter, leaving the BSF's a pretty easy set of mop-up duty. I prepped each encounter by Gift of Willing our BSF

which was super helpful.:
When the deep slumber went off

I blew 2 color sprays into the

mob name and why it sucked:
leech swarm but the 50/50 AND effective +1 was pretty rough. I appreciate the mechanic but I am not yet sold that it beats just getting a thendronic rod.
. I was essentially useless in the next room and was able to try a charm person on the BBEG that initiated combat. The whole no verbal or somatic is a big help for those sort of "get the drop" type situations.

SECOND ADVENTURE - 05-24 Assault on the Wound OR "I don't think they make Nike's in her Size"

Obviously not much character specific besides the super high initiative. Skills helped out a bit in the upfront Gather Info. I GL'd the

mob name:
Teifling Swarm
and the Slayer pregen finished it off after a full Gunslinger blast. The BBEG was where the fun began. Playing with a sneak character was the first time that I think I truly shined as I essentially got to stand back and give flank to the Slayer, leading to a pretty massive beatdown especially the Step Up ability. Pretty fun so far. I think that when the playtest ends and I end up studying the Awesome Displays of the Heavens, things will get quite a bit better.
