| The Broasted |
I just finished up soloing four characters through Burnt Offerings and am trying to figure out the best card feats to select. I realize a lot depends on the characters a group is running and the boons in hand at the end of Thisletop Delve. But,in some cases, it seems like there are obvious options for some characters, such as getting another ally for Lini. Generally, it seems like blessings should be the most sought after choice unless there is a very specific ability that your character can benefit from with another type of boon. I'm interested to hear what other people are going with.
Here is my thoughts for my current solo group:
Lem - Blessing or Item
Lem is the hardest choice because of his role as a utility character. Really anything he can add is useful. For this reason, I'm almost thinking it is best to give him another blessing.
I picked up a Holy Candle in Thisletop Delve, which also has me considering item. I've already got a Cape of Escape and Wand of Force Missiles on him, neither of which I want to drop. I could pass the Holy Candle off to Merisiel. But, she already has great items, and I don't like giving her bury card, since she has little healing and tends to operate on her own.
Lini - Ally
This seems like a no-brainer, since her animal allies are so powerful.
Merisiel - Blessing or Item
I'm leaning toward blessing here to help Merisiel continue her autonomous exploration. She already has two spyglasses, Shelelu Andosana (sp?), and her evade ability, so she tend to only encounter what she wants to encounter. The only trouble I've run into with her is that she tends to be a once-per-turn explorer due to her ratio of blessings. But, extra items are always nice, especially with all the nice loot cards that will be coming up at the end of Skinsaw.
I've also thought about giving her another weapon. She took weapon proficiency as her power feat, so now she runs with a +1 Longbow and the +1 Deathbane Crossbow. I managed to pick up a +1 Returning Throwing Axe in Thisletop and am loath to drop it. But, I kind of feel like she has enough coverage with the two bows.
Seelah - Blessing
Blessings are already quite possibly the most powerful boon type in the game. Seelah's "smite" ability just makes them all the better. Giving her an extra spell would be nice, but I feel that Lini and Lem contribute enough in that area to allow Seelah to focus on maximizing her blessings.
