Are you aware of the major drawbacks having that sword also includes? The concept of ever surprising anything is out the door. Stealth requires notable distances from the wielder to enact. Half of enemies in the Underdark? Exaggerate much? The blessing happens eventually... not a big deal (also...

I think this is still one of the cheapest hobbies you can participate in.

In the modern software development world, and noting they are using Curse as the development provider, much of the work is likely off-shored. $50,000k for an offshore developer is pretty reasonable (if not high) in the current market. Additionally maintaining and enhancing this app isn't likely...

Yep, I gave the PC's the narrative (at least one spoke undercommon and elven), that the prisoners weren't meant as a sacrifice to Loth for some reason because the module doesn't really have a reason. Hinting at the Drow needing a sacrifice of a mix of races to get guidance from Loth as to a...

I'm not sure I understand honestly. Why would 5th level characters have powerful magic items? What encounters would be too easy compared to starting at 1st level specifically? The random ones? The fixed ones? Admittedly it would take a slightly modified set of encounters if the PC's come in...

This isn't true at all. The prison break is not a fight scene. A level 1, or level 5 party will be slaughtered if they try to do this as a combat on the face of it. This complex in full battle status is a deadly encounter for 4 5th level characters, let alone 4 1st levels. 5 Elite Warriors...

The great thing about this adventure... you could easily start the PC's at 5th level and not significantly affect the adventure in any way.

I've been in two campaigns where a player we were with decided "I don't want to play this, I'm leaving the game" and basically sat out waiting for a new game to start. The first one was a Return to the Tomb of Horrors game I ran in 3.5xish. The player didn't want to do the Tomb. To that end...

I think you are missing the point. This isn't a problem with the module, it's a problem with how your GM ran it and you as players approached it. Did you attempt to talk to the turn coat? Work on the jealousy angle between the lovers of the head mistress? Invoke a distraction with the other...

To be fair, all of your equipment was available in the entry area if you as the players had gone looking for it. It's explicitly spelled out... I suggest before saying "it's with the module" that you might want to read it ;).

From the order of operations... this would be AC 20.825 11x2 = 22 -12.35 = 9.65 +32 = 41.65 / 2 = 20.825

I think Oofta made the point pretty well above. Re: NPC's dealing with the hut: I think these options would work... assuming the NPC's know about arcane magic, are prepped to deal with it, and can take a large number of attacks/arrows/spells flying out of the hut at them while they try to deal...

Right but this wouldn't work, because the pc's can safely shoot all the bad guys bringing in wood.

I'm just about to finish this campaign after roughly a year and a half (we have about 2 months left, after playing weekly). I strongly suggest, read ahead. Re-write sections wholesale, especially in the Labyrinth chapters near the end. Figure out something to replace all the wandering...

Have you considered... https://1d4chan.org/wiki/FATAL Should have every table you ever wanted... and definitely every table you NEVER wanted.

Leomund's Tiny Hut, nearly ensures short/long rests are available at will with any group over 5th level that has a wizard in it. What the bad guys do to prepare for the rested party during that time is a different story though.

Maybe look for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_City_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons) as a conversion to 5e or do the conversion yourself easy enough (upping the power levels)? Also 4e Pyramid of Shadows is roughly the same level range.

And again completely ignoring probability.
