WotC's Epic Adventures

[Otterscrubber]

Yeah...


It was also super easy.

How easy, you ask?

Well, we played through it with two PCs. (We had a third for a couple of sessions, but we definitely didn't need him.) Two PCs, and the DM didn't scale down the adventure. In fact, about halfway through, he started adding stuff.


Wow... 2 pcs... something seriously wasn't working there. That's crazy!!! And no healer? What was happening that made you so invulnerable to the monster's attacks exactly. What do you think was going wrong from your point of view? I'd like to avoid this kind of thing if my group ever reaches these levels.

It's when I hear things like this that it kinda invalidates the arguments that support the supposed need for the expertise feat.

Well, we did both have the expertise feat. But even without that +2 to hit, we would have still been fine.

Dude, you took the Windrise Port background, made a dwarf warden and say you didn't cheese your character?

Seriously...

As a DM I would have ignored your mark constantly, something I do already when the fighter in my game gets two many buffs.

What's cheesy about a dwarf warden?

It's windrise ports that's the cheese factor, not dwarfiness or wardenhood.

-O

 

[renau1g]

Oh, ok, just the way the sentence was structured it seemed like the Windrise port and a dwarf warden are cheese.

I still can't believe that's an allowable background... thankfully I don't play LFR or allow it at home. Windrise Ports...exports: heroes, adventurers, power-gamers

So I'm looking through E2, and skipped straight to the end.

Is it my imagination, or is Doresain a huge wuss?

-O

It is not your imagination. He's kind of a joke.

 

[Obryn]

Okay. Good. I mean, he would not be the first WotC BBEG I rebuilt almost from scratch. I made a Solo version of Skalmad that ended up completely badass, so I'll try the same for him, too. I'm using Zirthian as-is, but that's mostly because the rest of the encounter is hard as hell.

I mean, really, Doresain as-written is doing damage like a low-Paragon monster, not mid-Epic. And he's boring - a collection of Standard actions, no Minors or Interrupts.

-O

Maybe you would like to offer your input in this thread where I'm asking if the 'named' monsters of 4E are too easy.

Thanks.
