It was before we allowed retraining, so this was "The Water of the Warrior" and it forced you to remove any levels that didn't grant a +1 to hit and replace with one that does. It then granted you a bonus to str and a bonus to crits (I don't remember the exact details) but with the idea that this would build to having that player fight the evil warlord that was assembling an orc/goblin warband.when the party got to the water they found the tribe of orcs they were going to fight... and befriended them instead. Then when they got to the water they had all the warriors drink with the 2 PCs who drank it... When they found out about the warlord a level or two later they went back to the orcs and had them talk to teh others AND make contact with the warlord... who they befriended. COULD I have forced a fight... sure.  Did it make more narrative sense for them to make friends... yes</blockquote>
