RtL definitely improves those areas. OTOH, most of the overpowered stuff in regular Descent is still overpowered in RtL, it can be a real problem for a campaign.
But I love it. I probably enjoy playing Descent RtL more than D&D these days. |
But with the ability of the Overlord to increase the power of his monsters (the level 5 creatures from regular Descent are where the monsters start in RtL - they can be upgraded to silver & gold versions which are 2-3 times more powerful) I don't think some of those over the top weapons and items are going to be as much of a problem as they were in regular Descent. I mean even the lowly kobold, at gold level, has 14 wounds,
iirc! The Overlord, ime, is really tough to beat and my group has to use smart tactics and teamwork to finish every dungeon with a minimum of casualties.
And yet another word from our sponsors
