[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 4058124, member: 39394"] My group is currently playing through the third adventure, Hook Mountain Massacre. We have: Human Beguiler Half-Orc Barbarian/Ranger Gnome Jester (bard variant from Dragon Compendium) Human Cleric Human Factotum I'll echo that the adventure is really designed around having a melee fighter, a divine caster, and some sort of arcane caster (rogue is optional). Be prepared to deal with enemies who use invisibility. Be prepared to deal with enemies who are very tough in melee. (At the very least, some ranged attacks would not be amiss.) Teamwork is the key. Many encounters will utilize multiple opponents. That's why having a caster who can do battlefield control is so useful, because fighter types can only kill so many foes a round. Having one or more characters with social skills won't hurt either. The adventure path really rewards roleplaying and talking to NPCs. Sandpointe is richly detailed, and it can be a whole lot of fun getting involved with the lives of the townspeople. Don't keep your distance thinking it's only a 'starter town'. [/QUOTE]
