#Neverwinter beholder personal tank how to#

One last point, although i liked the gargoyle puzzle, the complexity involved and the fact there were no hints or description of the rules to the puzzle forced me to read the the walkthrough in order to understand its workings, i am sorry but this is a red flag for me, if you want to make a puzzle like this there should be some hints in order to explain the rules in order to solve it, if there are no description or hints the puzzle should be simple, i REALY dislike having to read a walkthrough to understand how to solve a puzzle. Īlso i agree with you, there should be some limitations to resting and potions and scrolls should matter, but considering a wizard or a sorc need to rest to be able to cast ofensive spells you have to be mindfull that your enforcing scrolls and wands on these classes, and at level 1 your not exacly overflowing with gold, but giving these classes something like the ray frost wand from the original campaing would be a boon for them. Overall the feeling i get in combat is ' I want to kill your hero and you have no say on it'. And this trend continues pointing out that the level requirement for this module is much higher than stated.I would also like to state that i hate those damn ruins ghost that cause level drain on hit, i would advise changing for str drain since it looks more apropiate and captures the feeling. Another example i would like to point out was the spider's encounter before the ruins, being 2 shoted left a bad taste in the mouth( at this moment i felt some confidence since i had some high AC), the spider's seem to hit too well and very hard. Like the quest for the stolen book, both the thief npc and the npc with the book one shoted my hero in a single strike, this comes has a shock since it throw's away any player input on the matter and makes the battle feel binary ( i folowed your recomendation to play it at level 1). I must say i also enjoyed this module, i liked the story, and the way you though of the chalenges, but i will also point out the extreme CR of the combat, to the point of making it frustating. Thanks for the fun module! I'm eager to see what the next chapter will bring for my character and his companion! My character would probably do better if he had a henchman to tank for him, but he held his own. The result was a really dynamic combat experience that I found really enjoyable. And because he had good use magical item ability, he was also able to make heavy use of magic wands against foes. I've never made so much use of usable items like choking powder, potions, etc. In fact, in a lot of ways, the module seemed custom-made for my character. The module seemed very well-balanced for him. Heeding your warnings about combat difficulty, I brought a level 2 fighter/rogue that I had from another module into this game.

The entire module is meticulously polished, and was a blast to play through.Ĭombat is most definitely very challenging. The result is a fresh and engaging tale that got my youthful adventurer off the ground and on his feet in tales fit for bards. As you mentioned below, it's clear that you try to put a twist on all of the fantasy tropes that you wield.

The story might not sound original on the surface, and employs a lot of fantasy tropes, but it's well-told.
