Same setting and storyline (AD&D's Bloodstone series, with us just now starting H4: The Throne of Bloodstone), but different characters.So far it looks like the party will be:Cleric / Divine Oracle: ranged attacking buffer with good healingArtificer / ?: we might make up a paragon path for him, or he may multi-class, depending on how many emails we can fire back and forth this week.Ranger / Pit Fighter: This player has mentioned what he'd like to play, but definitely won't be here this week.Wizard / ?: I believe he's going to go Spellstorm Mage (he really likes Storm Spell). He'll probably have the orb and stuns or Sleep to use it with. Encounters against single monsters will be fairly rare though, so I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be too bad. It'll be a good way to take a big guy out, but if they ignore the little guys with him they'll take a hefty beating while they wail on the stunned / sleeping enemy.Half-Giant Fighter / ?: We went with Minotaur stats, but traded the goring charge attack for an Earthsoul Genasi's Earthshock, which is a decent approximation of Stomp from 3.5. As part of his backstory he'll have gone through a time whosits and been to the world of Shadowrun. Some of his gear will have a futuristic theme to it, but be normal D&D gear as far as rules are concerned (for instance, he has a mono-axe as his magic weapon).Can you give some examples? I've seen a few places where someone will be slowed, then immobilized, then petrified or unconscious. But I haven't seen anything that just flat out kills you (apart from being swallowed by a higher level monster, which doesn;t quite kill you, but might as well).Luckily we're all veterans. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Everyone uses either a single quick reference sheet or power cards to track their abilities. I'll be using index cards to track initiative, and have the monsters' stats on the cards and the players' relevant stats on another sheet of paper so I can get to them quickly.I pulled the purple worm out. What's wrong with the hydra?Thanks!</blockquote>
