[QUOTE="Azurewraith, post: 6784062, member: 6798581"] So As i Said i would not down my combats from last session with their slog factor and asked my PCs to rate it on enjoyment the party was all 3rd lvl with a champion fighter, tempest cleric, Wild sorcerer and a valor bard im also running the sytem shock and lingering injuries along with vitalaty optional rules. Only had 2 encounters one was a random encounter with two kuo-tuo(the fish people) in a river they didn't want to fight tried to escape but one of the pcs hit the turbo button on their alien motor boat crushing the tiny row boat of the kuo-tuo throwing the bard and fighter into the water on impact the kuo-tuo saw there chance and went for some revenge the sorcerer mopped up 1 with a exact HP chromatic orb and then the other one fled after seeing his friend into fish finger's. 1action combat everyone agreed it didn't last long enough to be boring the 2nd fight was the same 3 against an aquatic troll that latched onto the side of there boat they had no clue about fire or acid and i used the loathsome limbs variant and it lost an arm on the deck of the boat at one point this one did drag on a bit but after 5rounds the bard just hit the turbo button and steered into a wall creating a belt-sander and the troll let go. They enjoyed this fight as they found a alternative solution and they enjoyed the severed arm getting up and darting round the boat. Oh i mentioned a cleric ye he didn't do anything that session he got hung up on trying to learn an alien language so he seemed to be enjoying him self so left him to it. Small sample size i know but it is what it is i guess. [/QUOTE]
