TOPIC: FULL - Eldest Ice GHC Fri 9:00pm Hedgehog

Wade has all 10 tickets, so payments should go to him, but I'm coordinating sign-ups; post here with class preferences if you'd like to join! Cost is $103 each (to cover GHC transaction fees).

note: priority will be given to regulars for the first few days of sign-ups, but we also love new recruits!

Order of the Hedgehog precepts:

• win as many combats as possible using ONLY Retribution damage (no attacking)
• mercilessly attack any foes too cowardly to engage us in melee
• must consent to combat-related spoilers
• Nightmare difficulty

1. Wade: Rogue?
2. Rachel: Bard?
3. David Zych: Cleric
4. BeLinda Mathie: Fighter
5. BasicBraining: Dwarf Defender
6. Ashley: Druid
7. zinniz: Barbarian
8. Alex: Monk
9. Jason Efford: Paladin
10. Bryan (Calandros)

Waiting list:
- Fred K

Note that hedgehogs typically do not equip Charms of Awakened Synergy because we need that slot for other things.

Build for high RD , low AC (12 is usually good), and at least some melee DR .

Remember you must actually take at least 1 point of melee damage per hit in order to inflict RD (so too much melee DR is counterproductive), but if you get hit 10 or 15 times then each point of melee DR you equip is worth 10 or 15 hp!

Tokens worth considering include
Ear: Earcuff of Ramparts
Neck: Amulet of Thorns
Torso: Plate of the Forge (Cleric, Fighters & Paladin) or Scorpion Chitin Armor
Hands: Berserker Gloves
Back: Cloak of Retribution, Cloak of the Cacti
Waist: Belt of Thorns or Belt of Retribution
Shins: Greaves of the Stalwart
Charm: Charm of the Hedgehog
Charm: Charm of Thorny Barbs
Charm: Charm of Thorns
Charm: Charm of Barbs
Underling: Underling Cleric
(various): Death Knight set

Please let the group know if you need to borrow tokens! I personally have one extra Belt of Thorns, one extra Cloak of Retribution, 2 extra Greaves of the Stalwart, one extra Charm of Thorny Barbs, one extra Berserker Gloves, and MANY extra Amulet of Thorns, Plate of the Forge, Charm of Thorns, Charm of Barbs, and Earcuff of Ramparts.

Would love to be the Paladin as normal

I’m interested if a slot opens up!

Hi all! We might want to finalize classes for this run so everyone can get builds ready...

Still to figure out at this point are Wade, Rachel, and Bryan;
available classes are Bard, Elf, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard.
