[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6159536, member: 14506"] So we are playing the Age of Wurms Pazio extravaganza. It is hard, very hard. In the first session. We had two clerics, a rogue, a wizard and a knight (PHII). I was playing one of the clerics. The rogue player dropped out after the first session. So I swapped my cleric to a rogue/fighter/barbarian with a plan to move into dervish - focused on doing lots of damage with a greatsword. So levels 1-4 were pretty easy but slowly the bonuses started getting more extreme. Pretty soon I was having to do massive recalculations with a zillion modifiers. I have never played a character so rigorous in the math and it is not really something I would lightly ask someone to play. I normally play wizards, wizards are way easier to play. The standard spout is that warrior types are the easy ones to play. Nope not true. So Age of Wurms is really rough on the fighter-types our knight player has died 6 times and has come back as warrior types each time, my character died finally too. The cleric and wizard have not died. I was actually happy when my character died because the math rigor was too much for it to be fun. It was nuts. With buffs and debuffs just the abilities on my character sheet it was crazy. I wound up a rogue 3/barbarian 1/fighter 2/dervish 2... Extremely effective character. However, playing a warrior type is not for the faint of heart. Cleric constantly healing you, getting buffs and recalculating all your statistics, constantly asking for healing, when debuffed recalculating all your statistics, begging for healing, leaping in to combat only to find out they are tougher than you thought and have to run, pleading for healing, managing durations for each buff round by round, rolling crappy. Give me a wizard any day. And I in fact came back as a wizard in out last session. I am now an order of the sevenfold veil initiate. Always wanted to play one... happy. :) Anyone else have an experience like this? [/QUOTE]
