Playtest - Disappearances in the Village

[Ellington]

Ellington, great reports!

Did you resolve this using the action resolution mechanics, or via fiat?

That sounds a bit wonky in the orc design.

Both with these orcs, and the gnolls that get their advantage on attack, grant advantage to attacker from the pack lord, how did you feel that it worked? Is the granting of advantage too big a penalty relative to the benefit gained?

Thanks!

We handled the barricades as difficult terrain, requiring double movement to get past.

I think granting advantage until your next round is pretty big. For the gnolls it might work since they get advantage themselves, but for 1d6 bonus damage on the orc charge, it's really not worth it. The players enjoyed the battle though, so what do I know?
