[QUOTE="gdmcbride, post: 5864362, member: 49338"] Greetings all, My name is Gary McBride and I wrote "Way of the Wicked". I have run an in-house playtest and after this weekend done four more sessions of the demo as well received now over twenty play reports. I am happy to answer questions and I certainly don't mind criticism. So, let me answer a few questions so far... Adjusting for six players [SPOILER] My advice, leave the first act alone. Really, numbers don't make it any easier. In fact, it might be harder to sneak out six instead of four players. Adjust the XP so they are 2nd level when they reach the manor house. After a few battles, you'll have a better feel about your parties level and can adjust power level accordingly. [/SPOILER] Any changes? [SPOILER] In act two, I think Sir Balin is probably a little rough for many 2nd level parties especially parties who are on a timer and have just been through the other eight lessons. I would probably tone his Str down to a 16 and his Con down to a 14. Adjust his stat block accordingly. This might very well make it into official errata released next month. [/SPOILER] Glad to answer more! Enjoy being the bad guy. Gary McBride [URL="http://www.firemountaingames.com"]Fire Mountain Games[/URL] [/QUOTE]
