Dear fellow Descentians (Descentees?)My group and I (five players in total) just recently finished the Heirs of Blood campaign, with me as the overlord winning the finale so the campaign ended in a 5-4 victory for the dark side. We had a blast - even though we used about 3-4 hours per encounter - time just flew by. The heroes in that group were:
Warrior: Syndrael - Knight
Scout: Jain Fairwood - Wildlander
Mage: Ravaella Lightfoot - Runemaster
Healer: Rendiel - Bard
Now I am to play with the heroes and one of the others is going to be the overlord (I think he is looking forward to this a bit too much
) We are planning on doing the Shadow of Nerekhall campaign next. SoN was the only expansion I had at the time of starting the last campaign, but now I have every expansion except for Mists of Bilehall and Chains that Rust. I also have bunch of Lieutenant packs and a couple og Heroes and monster packs. We are considering different group setups - but have this following suggestion for the following campaign:Warrior: Nanok of the Blade - Champion (considering skirmisher)
Scout: Tinashi the Wanderer - Treasure hunter
Mage: High Mage Quellen - Geomancer
Healer: Elder Mok - Apothecary
Our thoughts:
This group is basically based on the fact that we don't want to play one of the same classes as the last campaign - This even though I have a hard time seeing how any other healer can compete with the Bard. But to try new classes I suggested the apothecary and then built the group around fatigue regeneration, since we don't have the bard to do that for us. Quellen, Mok and Tinashi all have hero abilities that help fatigue regen and the champion can get stoic resolve (and to a point motivating charge) to help with gaining fatigue. If the skirmisher is chosen he can choose born in battle to help with fatigue regeneration.
I am wondering if mobility will become an issue - we will miss Jain and Syndraels heroic feats along with the knight and wildlanders mobility. We will have the treasure hunters mobility and Tinashis feat that can come in handy in the SoN campaign.
The hero stats are:
____________Nanok_____Tinashi_____Quellen____Mok
Strength:______4__________3__________1________2
Willpower:_____2__________3__________3________4
Knowledge:____2__________2__________5________3
Awareness:____3__________3__________2________2
What are your thoughts on this team setup? Are there any strengths/weaknesses I haven't seen? Am I focusing too much on fatigue regeneration? I am asking even though I am pretty sure our new evil Overlord is browsing these forums on a daily basis
Thanks in advance - and sorry for the long post
