[QUOTE="Solvarn, post: 5207764, member: 59666"] I participated in the Dark Sun Encounters event Wednesday evening. I was disappointed with the multiple errors on the pre-generated characters. I suppose someone new would not notice, but I kept hearing this from multiple people throughout the night. Our DM really didn't do the best job of making it clear that we were supposed to flee. I think that building the encounter, it might have been nice to have the monster not hit quite as hard, but to push out more of them. Many of the PC's on the table dropped in two hits. One of the PC's spent all but one of the rounds unconscious. I just think that the encounter could have been tweaked a little better so that newer players, not as tactically minded, had at least an even shot of doing ok. I know that there were several that are not planning to come back. I played the Ardent, and I had fun. One of the cooler moments in our fight was when the ranger, on the one round that he was up, managed to stab a silt strider and break the knife off in him prison style. I personally had fun and will be going back next week to check it out. WotC really needs to step up their game in regards to the editing of their Encounters and Game Day material. I haven't participated in an event yet where there wasn't some kind of error on the PC's character sheets. [/QUOTE]
