Eh, it'd get boring quick. I reload a lot. :P

Mind, if it was just the SUCCESSES, it would be pretty cool.

EDIT: ...and after slogging away for a couple of hours, I finally manage to get through the first level. The Drakes weren't much bother, but those Huge Mutant Lizards were a tremendous pain.

Pedant. You know what I meant. :P

(you're also wrong - I killed 4 mutant lizards and 4 drakes before I went up a level)

Place your bets. How far can I get into Bahssikava with a level 1 party?

Well, technically while my party was made up of 4 sling-users, they weren't purely sling-users. I'd swap to javelins occasionally for tough stuff, and one of my guys was more of an archer. However, they all did use slings, so Thuryl's question was technically correct. The main point was that none of them had magic.

The way I beat DWTD the first time was a bunch of Nephil priests with a lot of dexterity and Fast on Feet and Divinely Touched. With those bonuses, I could act first and get in a couple of rounds of Repel Spirit before they could do anything about it. So for this time, I took away the two main tools I used before - speed (a level 1 human without advantages simply can't be fast enough to act before anything in DWTD - try it) and magic.

The way I did it was a bit unorthodox. I spent every starting skillpoint I had for one character on Tool Use. No combat skills, nothing. Then I went and picked every lock I could. With the disadvantages, I was close to level 10 before I ever saw a fight. And by then I could get enough Dexterity and Quick action to act first - at least for 3 of my PCs. Naturally, all that Dexterity made my guys decent with missiles, so I got a couple of slings and started off by throwing stones at zombies in the sewers. Got a few kills, got more levels, could kill some tougher stuff... rinse and repeat.

The toughest fight was the three avatars on the bridge. I had to get so much Dexterity to act before them it was ridiculous. Even then, I had to use a wand of Forcecage to get through.

After them, Vahkohs himself wasn't too hard. I had loads of Quick Action by then, so I could usually get a fair few shots off in a round, and they were doing about 100 damage each. The final one was a bit tricky, though. Those Jewelled Golems made life difficult, especially without a healer. I used the Rod of Major Call for that one, just for distraction value.

So, yeah, there you have it.

While Mac vs PC is a dreaded debate, there hasn't actually been an argument about it for years.
