Ah, gear up.

That's too many 'ifs' to be a solid strategy for my tastes.

I only meant Gloria G. needs any one of them, not all of them. In other words, she might very well start with the item/spell she needs.

I got what you meant.

I just wanted to point out that she's basically one of those characters who is very dependant on multiple factors to be effective, even if that specialty can be very powerful and helpful. There are many characters that I'd prefer to play over her.

Have you played with any of the expansions yet or just the core set?

I have tried three different expansions. I enjoyed "Black goat of the woods" the most.

How about the big box expansions?
