We don't have the conversion kit. Pierce is an option but I think I'm leaning on more ways to take their actions away like stun. Looking at some pierce act 1 monsters not convince I could crack through two black dice,most of the time. Also she has a feat that adds more shields. Thanks for the help though I'll just play around with it see what I can do, pierce will probably be part of the plan.
They have a healer disciple, guy with a mace and shield. And the new warrior from shadow of nerkhal. And Tomble as treasure hunter. I got to deal with these guys too.

Gulp! Can't even immobilize her she'll still bomb with her spells.

I'm posting this here. We just got the Rune Plate from Jinn's lamp and gave it to ravaella light foot, am I reading this right she gets two black defense dice?

Hello again friends !
Is it possible for you to have a party of heroes composed only of warriors class ( in the base game of the dwarf berzerker and the elf knight ? )
Can be a normal, easy or difficult victory for the heroes ?
What do you think ?
In a two vs 1 player game your not going to have enough actions to produce enough victories per quests so I don't believe it will matter if you choose warriors only. If you can get geared up heavily/appropriately enough you can still win in final. 3 vs 1 game there are less monsters to deal with but you will certainly have master minions all the time. You will have enough actions to win a lot of quests. 4 vs 1 is where OL could exploit you but like the 1 vs 2 game (any) the final is what matters not how many quests you can win (But it does help).
The game isn't that strategically complicated as a lot of people will have you believe. But you will find some writing on cards, books, ect. more complicated. You'll be spending more time looking up FAQ and errata then you will on THE strategy. But you'll see as you play,and play, and play again.
That's funny because i was just doing that before I got on this forum for answers.

Policing people how they talk, or want to talk is ridiculous. You obviously understand what people are saying but your nit picking what you think "game breaking" means? That's all I REALLY see. It's not always about caring it's about time and time limits the amount of care involved or subject matter. Most people do more in there lives then a game (not saying you don't). If it takes less time to punctuate,spell check ect ect. And people are limited on time then that's what people are going to do. You can call it what you like but its what people do no matter the country. Speaking of country it could also be because of poor English skills. I see people on here trying to say what they got to say but I find it hard to understand because they are still learning the language. If you want to teach grammar a game forum isn't the place. Their not here to learn grammar they have something else going on in there life that is teaching them. In fact you could be unintentionally insulting them. Not everybody is from the same culture as you and you should respect that.
Don't forget this is a forum. And not nearly as bad as some I've seen(Community wise). Most people here including me aren't typing or talking to the best of are abilities or even spell check. This is a game forum and nothing here is even all that important. If this was a resume' then people would CARE more.Likewise, easily over 90% of gamers here and abroad the internet use the term "broken" to mean "overpowered" (and perhaps occasionally "underpowered," but usually the former.) In fact, they often use the term to refer to a perceived imbalance when there may in fact not even be an actual imbalance in practice.
I'm sure they would use "broken" in a case where the game became literally unplayable, but that is not a prerequisite in common parlance. The way the majority of people use the word "broken" in the context of gaming is highly subjective, to the point where I don't really think any one definition can be universally applied. You know what they mean, let's just leave it at that.
I disagree. Just because most of these players speak in hyperbole doesn't mean that it should be encouraged. If you follow actual game design professionals (particularly for big-league games), they'll say the same thing Whitewing says.It's better to make up a term for the unusual situation, rather than repurposing a common term in a way which will make what you're saying harder to understand.
If you don't even care enough about the things you love or do as a hobby, then why should anyone take anything you ever do seriously?
I try to make my posts legible and clear, and while I will readily state that my opinions are opinions and aren't always right, I do my best to argue my position in a way that others can know what I'm trying to actually say. Hyperbole runs counter to that notion, and is primarily a tool of rhetoric, which is counter productive.
Obviously you care enough to come on here and spend a portion of your day reading others posts and commenting yourself. If you care enough to do that, why not care enough to make the discussion the best it can be with a small amount of additional effort?
I respect this I'm an exchange student.

Firstly, if you're short on time because you have better things to do, then go do them. Secondly, if you don't even play this game and don't care about it, why are you here? Thirdly, cultural relativism is bull. Fourthly, I never once attempted to teach anyone grammar. I merely suggested that people who genuinely care about the things they do will put in some time and effort into doing it well. If you don't care about your posting, why should anyone else? I never stated any grammar rules or told someone to go learn it, or anything of the sort. You brought this up when you came out of nowhere bashing the very idea of posting well, with your inane notion that because this is a game forum and others are worse, we should just not even attempt to improve. Nobody is nitpicking grammatical mistakes or calling people out for poor English: my point is precisely that you took the time to say this:
"Don't forget this is a forum. And not nearly as bad as some I've seen(Community wise). Most people here including me aren't typing or talking to the best of are abilities or even spell check.

I cannot disagree with this very notion more vehemently, and I don't care what culture you are from: that's an excuse. You quite literally said that you are not trying to post well. That's toxic to any discussion, regardless of what the topic is. If you don't care, go do something else with your time, you don't have to sit here telling others they are trying too hard with things they enjoy.
Umm no that isn't I can't agree wit that.

Well, another bunch of spiders is obviously redundant, as for the female characters... women are just weaker and there are simply more male heroes in the world
lol, come on that was funny!
Not really, no. It was the utter definition of trite: sarcastic or not, it's an overused sentiment lacking originality or freshness. Not funny, and anyone who thinks so is only encouraging blatant sexist behavior. Maybe you don't think so, but it sets an example that others may pick up on, and I personally feel that our community should hold itself to higher standards. If you want to make jokes, you're going to have to try harder to be actually funny instead of using a subset of the community as a target of the joke. Regardless of whether you personally agree or disagree with the sentiment of the joke, that type of joke creates an environment of alienation, and if you didn't realize that before, hopefully you do now and can hold yourself to a higher standard.

It's seems like the scout has a lot of things he can do he seems more important then the others. Maybe that's part of the problem for me they all need to be more important. Otherwise everybody is going to play as a scout or fight over it (No we wouldn't fight over it I'm just saying). It is like baseball everybody wants to be where the action is because outfield is boring.
Healer heals, fighter fights, wizard is I guess crowd controll. Scout is all around good at everything but healing. It almost sounds competitive how Silverhelm described it. But that's good and sounds fun I just want them equally competitive. But there's also the adventure problem I'm not sure how that can get better for me. Maybe the importance of coin is the problem..
Maybe, I do wish there was more adventure like D1.

I agree with this about the warrior. I found using range is better against him then hand-to-hand he doesn't like being surrounded. Every time I've knocked him out he just gets back up with no actions lost with his heroic. You kind of need to knock him out twice in a quest. That's another thing there is a lot of quest in this campaign that doesn't have two encounters, I kind of like I that. He is a knock back kind of guy. That brown dice makes me want to attack him though it's like dangling a carrot in my face if I was a horse.
