Has Pierre fixed the prologue so it can be instantly skipped yet? It was better when I didn't have to do it to get to the real campaign.

If you're talking about the village, just speak with the captain from the tower a couple of times and you can go straight to the village invasion and miss all the great content the village has to offer.

You can also skip 1 or 2 battles from the invasion.

Also, I got some news for the next module last week but I was waiting for Pierre to announce it himself, I'll ask him if I can spill the beans if he doesn't.
I'll just add it sounds absolutely fantastic, particularly if you like sand...

Ok, haven't played more than like 45 minutes of the original Knights of the Chalice demo. Enjoyed it but felt very limited with only 4 classes and 3 races. I see in KotC2 we have 10 races and 22 classes. How is the story? Does it keep you enthralled? Or are we just looking for the next epic tactical battle?

Can't tell from the info I can find. Figure it has a basic story, mainly just wondering is it Cleve worthy?

Finished Augury of Chaos on Archmage mode but with gold for levelling up off as my first Playthrough, with the composition: Human Fighter, Ranger, Cleric and Druid plus 2 Elven Wizards. I ditched the NPC companions after chapter 1 because it felt that battles take a lot of time already.

Loved the entire thing and some of the changes to 3.5e felt welcome. Generally much, much less reliance and lack of the Fly spell for instance and Fighters being a better class without massive splat scrounging and DM fiat. Hybrids still stay a balancing a problem outside of Ranger (carried mostly by skewer + barbed enchantments) but they're probably suited and better played in a module less focused on kicking your teeth in. I initially thought that the lack of Power Attack and its variants would leave melee martials lacking damage required for the higher challenges however the accessible crafting and powerful new enchantments made it so you can catch up comfortably. My Ranger was outputting 150 damage per shot at 7 attacks per round assuming the enemy isn't immune to criticals, same case for Fighter but with dual reach weapons and the very strong Wade In feat.

Encounters in Augury of Chaos felt that prioritization is required which is something I like, and the constant push for "can I fight one more encounter?" due to the restrictions in the later half of the game is great and keeps you thinking about your resources and decisions.

Eagerly waiting for the next official module!

Poison doesn't work. I had to go into the module editor to dig out the solution. It's in there as some variation of "fake gold" or "fools gold."

This dialogue keeps looping. Bad bug

But if you're fast enough clicking away...

It spawns a bunch of gloves and fills you with xp as you eventually get away from the trigger.

And then if you go into the center of the room again, the dialogue triggers again.... I don't know if you know about this... But it's quite odd
