Yeah, it's a definite concern. Shayla will probably have to take spell penetration at some point. I'm focusing mainly on conjuration and utility spells, so it won't be that big of a deal for me. I'm not really sure how higher level druids work out, having never seen one in action, but we're hoping that Gorak's shapechange and some buffs will make him a pretty good fighter if the need arises. One of us (I won't spoil the surprise) is taking leadership at 6th too, in order to pick up a meatwall, so we should be a little more balanced in the future.
What really concerns me are energy immunities, especially as far as Shayla's spells go. Galeman won't allow energy substitution sonic, which I don't necessarily disagree with (except for the little...well okay, big screaming munchkin in me).
Anyhow, just to let you know where we are currently in the campaign, Shayla has just hit 6th level, and I'm about 150 exp away. Gorak, thanks to some spectacular bookkeeping, has managed to set himself back a few hundred exp, and needs another 800 or so I think. Heh, I can't chide him too much however, seeing as how at any given point I'm floating anywhere from a 4 skill point deficit to a 7 skill point surplus. As Galeman pointed out, it's no wonder Khalid had so much trouble learning spells at the White Tower, given that he didn't have spellcraft for the first game session (And yes, I have played a wizard before, to 14th level no less)
I do most of my writing on Saturday mornings by the way, so you can figure on a weekend update on a fairly consistent basis. Stay tuned for next weeks installment...the nail biting thrill ride known as Chapter 3: The Mines of Malakai.
