DID SOMEONE SAY RAT PEOPLE

SORRY MY LEVEL 2 SCRUBLORDS ARE TOO BUSY GETTING WRECKED BY A LEVEL 10 MINOTAUR MAGE
The level 10 minotaur mage is what convinced me Pierre, despite obviously giving a lot of thought to his twist on 3E stuff, nonetheless had no idea what he was doing.

But anyway if you skip or somehow beat the level 10 minotaur mage there's an easy fight and then an easy puzzle and then rat people and then more stupid shit.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
if you didn't have to spend money on level up you could probably just enchant yourself to high SR and trivialize the module pretty quickly.
I tried spending gold on two armor upgrades that give 27 spell resistance. Those two guys still get completely wrecked by casters, and I haven't even been past the goblin king, a level 13 dude with Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration, in case you though spell resistance would protect you from empowered Ice Storm. I thought they'd have a 45% chance of resisting, but he just rolls whatever he needs anyway.

Just grease him and summon a skeleton or an elemental bro, he ain't hard.
IIRC he's got a +5 reflex save so you don't get great odds on greasing him even with 20 int wizard and since he's large size the grease has to target his entire token so he doesn't get a bonus to the save, and there's the fact that your wizard has gotten webbed thanks to his surprise round. Then you have to out skill his mirror image and blur prebuffs. Anything's possible with the reload spell I guess.

Pierre "CR is more like a suggestion" Baguette

If you skip the mage with high strength, a Half-Giant or a search check you'll really feel the missing XP, too.
He gives a lot more XP than the centipedes?

I think the fact that the minotaur shows up prebuffed with mirror image and blur is what makes him really insulting. Like the surprise round and him being a level 10 wizard on a minotaur chasis wasn't enough.

The odss aren't that bad and that's what the summons are for, strip his mirror images and he'll fall over.

50-60% is "great odds" to me. At least in this game.

This is your brain on Pierre, folks.

Have fun fighting 6 centipedes, 2 of which cast 20 damage AoE acid splash while your characters are 1 HP from fighting slimes and a minotaur.

This is what I was thinking about. No equipment. No HP left. That's why I figured that people fighting the minotaur were doing that instead of the centipedes. What the fuck is wrong with Pierre? Can your guys at least use a Grease spell for lube?

If you spend your level up gold with the ratmen you can generously rest twice!
