TOPIC: FULL - Raven's Eye Fri May 30 8:48pm CDT Hedgehog

td.events/conventions/ravenseye/slots/24604

I have all 10 tickets and am looking for more players; post here with class preferences if you'd like to join! Cost is $78 each.

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. David Zych: Cleric
2. Kendal: Elf/flexible {paid}
3. Wade: ? {paid}
4. Rachel: ? {paid:Wade}
5. Jason Efford: Paladin {paid}
6. BeLinda Mathie: Fighter {paid}
7. Joshua Parde: Dwarf {paid}
8. Limitless: Druid {paid}
9. James W: Bard {paid}
10. BasicBraining: Rogue {paid}

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!

Ear: Earcuff of Ramparts
Neck: Amulet of Thorns
Torso: Plate of the Forge (Cleric, Fighters & Paladin) or Scorpion Chitin Armor or Death Knight set
Hands: Berserker Gloves
Back: Cloak of Retribution or 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

I 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 join as the Paladin

Real life should allow me to join this one! Fighter as usual please.

Now that GenCon rush has settled a bit, we still have room for 4 more hedgehogs next weekend!

Some of our regulars are volunteering this month, so if you're intrigued by the idea of our shenanigans and haven't gotten a chance to try them yet, this could be your chance

Sweet!

38 RD is good, but I'd recommend sneaking in some of the R/UC charms to juice it a little more (I have extras to lend).

For slots, I have one spare Arcane Earcuff you can borrow, and while Charm of Echoed Taunts is amazing when you're the only retribution build on a standard format run, it's surprisingly less important on a hedgehog run where all 10 of us are decked out in thorns.

If you happen to own a DK Shield, it's worth putting in the ranged offhand slot for extra set bonus.

I'm not certain but I think somebody else in the party may have an extra SH4+Underling Cleric, we should ask around during coaching time.

Due to even/odd stats Charm of the Elk is giving you HP but not currently lowering your AC; I'd replace with Charm of the Sea Hag (I have extras).

For second earcuff I'd suggest Ramparts for melee DR (I have extras), or alternatively Orbits for IS Sea Hag Olivine Orb + IS Sea Lion Calcite Sphere to lower AC.

For finger I'd suggest Ring of the 2nd Circle for melee DR, or else a +save ring to be determined during coaching (I always do a pick-up run before the hedgehog run to get a sense of which saves we're likely to care about most, it varies widely by adventure).

For bead, probably +saves again. BTW I wouldn't bother burning an Eldritch Runestone on this run.

For head, anything that boosts a useful stat and doesn't raise AC; decent choices at rare level include Crown of Iron Will and Triton Hat, or a +1 Con/Str if those end up otherwise odd. (Of course DK Helm is also tempting if you happen to own one, but then you'd also want to find another -2ac somewhere else, which is getting tight)

Thanks again for joining the run, it's exciting to have a new recruit!

Edit: oh, and we have CoA to lend also, don't forget to slot that in there!

Updated my build

I can take a spot. Put me down as Bard.

Woohoo! We still have room for one more hedgehog...

Bump since this is tomorrow night!

Thank you for allowing me to join with you on this run! I had a good time and would enjoy trying another hedgehog run.
