The battle with Kazmojen in Life's Bazaar was a TPK waiting to happen. We were extremely fortunate that Gardrid critted him with his waraxe otherwise it would have been bye bye birdy. Similarly, fights in Flood Season including the one against the priestess of Bane (Triel) and the halfling wizard boiled down to a few lucky rolls for us(and unlucky rolls for Jollydoc).  I don't know what the module designers were smoking when the inserted the Red Dragon and advanced Erinyes in Zenith Trajectory. In both cases, these monsters have terrain perfectly suited to their special abilities. Bottom line in both cases -- if you don't have the Fly spell then you are screwed. As you will see in JollyDoc's next update the battle against the Kuo-Toa high priest was fought under similar conditions. Other than that, I agree with Hammerhead. I prefer playing Sorcerers (frankly, I can't stand wizards) and Joachim Clerics. However, I seem to have found my true calling again, but Joachim seems to want to deny his destiny.  Also, as others have pointed out, JollyDoc is not quite the rat-bastard DM he appears to be. He, of all people, wants his campaign to be populated by a fairly stable group of PCs so that we can develop a good, cohesive story arc. However, the power that the module designers have given the DM make that very, very difficult. Interestingly, both Joachim's PC as well as my own are now designed with survival in mind. Neither can deal out high-output damage like Pez and Gardrid but both designed very carefully with strong defense in mind. We shall see how long they last . . .</blockquote>
