On average a d8 gives you 4.5, and a d4 gives you 2.5. Highest + lowest/2 But, yeah, as others have noted, this video really helps in explaining the flow of the game. I have read rules of various kinds for more than 30 years of my life, but there's just sosethng about the way this is set up - something about nomenclature and many assumptions made that aren't at all a given - that just keeps confusing me. So thanks.

I know this video is a little dated, but there is more to the mistake of forgetting to close Sandpoint Cathedral (as mentioned in the extended gameplay). After successfully beating Ripnugget and Stickfoot, you would also try to temporarily close the Swallowtail Festival. Had you both succeeded in temporarily closing your respective locations, the villain would only have been able to escape to The Gate or Town Square. So you should have mixed only one blessing with the villain instead of three. The way you did it, is as if you had both failed to temporarily close your respective locations. Very well explained on pages 17 and 18 of the rulebook.

I noticed you pointed that out when watching the remaining videos (I should really watch them all before commenting). Also, at some point I realized that the very core of the game is basically Munchkin. Explore stack of cards, fight monsters (sometimes by having other player helps you out) and collect treasure. Except with more elaborate rules and persistent characters. Probably just the result of both games trying to emulate a typical old school D&D dungeon crawl.

Another mistake about closing locations. If the villain is encountered by another player in a different location, you can only _temporarily_ close your location. It keeps the villain from fleeing there, but does nothing else (no cards are removed and the location is opened up again afterwards). It's useful for two reasons. If you have only one other open location, you can end the game right there, else you at least narrow down his options, making it easier to figure out where he went.

well, be careful relying on this vid, because i did do some stuff wrong, but the general flow of a boss encounter is: 1) everyone else gets the chance to try to temporarily close their location so the boss can't run there 2) the boss encounter happens 3) whether you succeed for fail in that encounter, the boss will run to one of the remaining decks that is not closed. if there are no other decks that are "open" then he can't run away, and if you beat him in the encounter, you win the entire adventure :)

I really thought that if someone used a weapon that they weren't proficient with, they had to incur a penalty of d4. You mention that you thought that it just meant they couldn't use the special ability. Where do you see that rule?
@rahdo
10 жыл бұрын
page 11 "Weapons and many other cards that can be used during combat generally tell you what skill to use when you attempt a combat check" so a short sword (for example) says "for your combat check, reveal this card to roll your strength or melee die + 1d6" nowhere does it say in the rules or on the card that weapon proficiency is required to do a combat check with this sword. so anyone can use it. the card does however say "if you aren't proficient with weapons, the difficulty of this check is increased by 4". so in the case, having weapon proficiency lets you avoid a penalty. but you can use the weapon just fine without the proficiency if you're willing to accept that penalty :)

if the bane is a monster, then the default combat check (if you use no weapon or spell) is that you try to punch the thing, which means you use your melee ability, and if you don't have that, you're down to a generic 1d4 :)

(A few items that can be used in combat don’t use any of your skills; they instead specify the exact dice you need to roll or the result of your die roll.)"

Diablo was okay, until you beat the game and had no reason to go on (except for one of us, who couldn't stop item hunting, even if ultimately there was no point in even having them). I got a feeling the same might happen to this game, once Paizo says "that's it, no more new adventure decks". Maybe a few scenarios to try out the other characters, but once the story is told, there won't be much reason to keep playing. But until then, the game should be plenty of fun.
