Reducing the number of encounters in a day

[FormerlyHemlock]

I'm perfectly happy with Torin the Chosen and heavily armored dwarves and flying draconians and war trolls.

I can't believe I failed to mention Life Cleric with Warlord as one of the must-try tactics. I have never yet tried a Myrran Life Cleric with trolls as a base race but it sounds fun and very strong.
