[QUOTE="Broken Fang, post: 99897, member: 3172"] WOW...look at all the posts! But lets not get carried away it is a game afterall. We made the characters at my place and everyone knew what everyone else was making. This is something the party did on their own. The first encounter was perfect for them. Goblins had been raiding farms from an abandoned mansion. With four Rangers it was pretty easy for them to track the gobbos back to their lair and sneak in to attack them. It went relatively easy for the party till the crazed ogre came out and crited one of the PC's! But they still held their own and wiped the nest out. All the PC's survived and recovered in town (the downed PC was healed by their employers cleric). The second half of the night was spent discovering clues that a goblin force was moving to raid the town. The PC's harried a group of 50 by themselves, as the town defenders prepared for the other force. They actually did a good job, longer ranges with bows, just dropping one or two and taking off. With about 30 left the goblins split up into three groups, the PC's for some reason split up to chase them. One PC hide and intentionally jumped them in HtH. Another came to his aid as he was getting whacked pretty good (this is where I started rolling hot)! PC 1 went down, PC2 was defending his body, as PC 3 entered the fray with goblins chasing her. PC 3 went down and PC 2 moved to cover her body, PC4 was not entering combat and just shotting! He finally entered combat when eveyone told him he was screwing the party since the goblins werre all attacking one guy. He entered combat as PC 2 went down and managed to finish off the last two goblins. At third level a wizard or sorcerer would havee been a definate help. A cleric (war or even a nature following type) would also have been a help. Like I said earlier I think they realize the error and the two players that still need to make characters might go with some magic ability, while one is thinking of multi-classing to Cleric. I'm not going to go out of my way to change an encouter because they don't have magic. At the same time I'm not going to just throw things at them they cannot overcome because they do not have magic. It's a bit of give and take. As they approach higher levels and encounters with more powerful creatures/NPC's I believe they will be in for some hurt w/o the magic support! Will just have to wait and see if they adapt. [/QUOTE]
