[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 2641860, member: 19265"] Insightful review Merrick. I really like the sound of this adv. Do not play in the FR, but love orcs (and have HEAPS of orc minis I need to make more use of ;)). I too like the fact that not every encounter is around the party level. The CR system is nice so you know roughly how challenging each encounter may be, but too often these are used as hard and fast rules as to what the characters can and can't meet. If a DM always uses CR's of around the characters' levels then the party wont bother with coming up with other ways to overcome challenges, when they know they can just choose a straight up fight every time. I have always used encounters that fit the area/adventure, NOT the characters' levels. I find it hard to believe that dragons only appear once levels go up. If a green dragon haunts a forest, it is there no matter the PC party level!!! This adventure sounds great on all levels to me. thanks for the review. Connors [/QUOTE]
