Hi Descenters of the world,I have just received the conversion kit for Descent II and looking for advice. I play the game with my family and we're loving it - perfect game for us (me as the overlord vs 3 heroes). While I don't own the original Descent I do have hundreds of rpg miniatures so there is little problem finding proxies.
However, researching the forums it seems to be the consensus that some of the conversion kit monsters are much more powerful than their Descent II brethren and swing the game towards the Overlord, unsurprising I suppose considering they were not designed specifically for the new game.
Now I am perfectly happy with the balance of the game at the moment - if anything I prefer a slight edge to the heroes. My reason for buying the kit is simply to offer more variety in the opposition rather than to make them much tougher. So I was wondering if people with experience of playing with the conversion kit in Descent II could recommend monsters that might be overpowered so that I can leave them out.
Equally, while I have plenty of heroes for everyone to choose from (I have all the expansions), it would be nice to know if there are any conversion kit heroes that you tend to avoid because they are either too strong or too weak.
Thanks in advance
Bill
