Bold or Stupid
First Post
Oddly enough my group found the Physadros encounter to be one of the tougher ones they faced. With him starting bloodied, it seriously limited the options for their Pacifist, though the situation seemed ideal for the Charging Barbarian.
The Court of Fallen Leaves encounter was, I think, their favourite in the whole module. I made it completely free form, moving from group to group at whim.
Whirling Barbarian with foot wear that allows him to minor to move, plus hunters quarry from a ranger multiclass. Add that to a Bravura Warlord who will take what ever risks he can and you get a lot of damage output when they Nova. Would have loved to run the court freeform, but it's not quite my groups comfort zone, some would run with while others would get bored and disruptive. I intend to run the Astral Giant subquest as very open, and let them try and talk their way through it (as I suspect they will try), the Starmetal Quest is going to be run old school, my Barabarians player was kicked from uni in 1979(!) for partying to hard and playing to much D&D and seems to react well to the oldschool style, and given it's final boss, it just seems right.
