Having played this scenario, I now understand why it has been given such abysmal ratings on the nyrond.org site. I am absolutely disgusted with it, its author...
Yeah. When our group played it, two PCs died in the first combat before having the chance to act. To us, the whole thing was just painful from start to finish....
I haven't read the module proper, but I remember only having problems with the first fight (2 crits on a main fighter to take him down, and my wizard surviving...
Hi Mark, I do not begrudge anybody the right to complain, but when people complain I prefer them to be specific. It is really hard for us to explain our...
... First of all, we are only human and we do miss things once in a while. Like I told Mark in a previous mail: if you want us to be able to do something with...
Pieter you don't seem to have answered his issue with the particular encounter. As he said he didn't have a problem with the scythe, he liked the adventurer...
OK I have seen something that might make it clear - and since I have no intention of playing seeds at apl 8 or 10 I don't think it matter that I have seen the...
... Because he did not tell me what encounter he was talking about*, and because he gave me the end results of a calculation the group made. Just as with...
... P.S. Players of the group promised me a mail that would include a step-by-step analysis of how they came to their conclusion in private mail. Once I get...
... Yeah, that was me. For example, take displacer beasts, which are normally CR 4 creatures and have 6 hit dice. Advance them according to rules: as they are...
as one of the players at the table that prompted the email that started this: our only problem with the module was the final fight. by our calculations (which...
May I also point out the fact that module (at least 1.0 version in RPGA page) has no encounter maps at all and only vague descriptions of surrounding areas. ...

... You're right. I apologize, it was a bit... too hasty... ... Yeah, I've skimmed the module now. Suffice to say that it's more there as a border showing what...

... Incorrect, lets me stress it again, most Triads, authors and reviewers are more then willing to make changes if problems come forward during play. There is...

Three creatures with a CR of 10 would be a classic EL13 encounter, the maximum allowed in LG for an APL10 table. -- would you mind telling me where that rule...
... seriously ... according to what i read, would you not calculate the CR like this... CR calculations ... drow = PC CLASS LEVELS + 1 (MM page 104) tauric =...
... Like I said: They were mostly cakewalks. ... The adventure says 300ft. So it's DC 30 and shouldn't be an inch higher. In fact the second round DC should be...
... Tauric is a template that takes two creatures and combines them. In this case, the 'base creature' is a displacer beast, combined with a drow. Imagine a...
... Actually, no. Scry is done on a person, and it only works against that single person. At least, in 3.5. So it would have been a will save for one person. ...
Just to remember: CR calculations are NOT exact math. Just because the MM says you can use non-associated class levels on whatever you like, doesn't mean that...
... I think a useful thing to do with CR calculations is to compare the power of a build with comparable builds of the same CR. If a build is, say, from a...
... ah ha! thank you for the correction. i read a bit the tauric template again (and more thoroughly since i clearly misread the first time) and i think i...
... However what should also be considered is how other tables have fared - if this happened to every table then that would be one thing however it has not. I...
... The problem with that argument is that the tauric template advances as the base humanoid. The drow are counted to have cleric and wizard as favored class....
