TOPIC: LFM - VTD Sat Jan 9 4:12 PM CST Bloody Nightmare

td.events/conventions/01-27EitD/slots/26506

I have all 10 tickets and am looking for more players; post here or PM with class preferences if you'd like to join! Cost is $82 each.

Bloody Nightmare challenge rules for this run:

• Nightmare difficulty with Combat path choices (if applicable)
• no avoidable puzzle damage (must consent to spoilers)
• one token that grants level 5 with no other benefit
• Treasure Enhancers (of course)
• all other tokens must be Rare, Uncommon, or Common
• consumables may NOT be used to heal HP
• Potion Death's Door (or equivalent) and non-healing consumables are allowed if you want to use them, but no expectations

Warning: we will almost certainly all die, possibly before room 7! Don't make this your only run of the weekend.

1. David Zych: Bard/Cleric/Druid
2.

4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Please equip the following tokens (don't worry, I own 10 of each) to help us all stay alive longer:

Ring: Triton Ring
Shirt: Linked Shirt of Healing
Legs: Pants of Blisswalk

You probably want to stack HP, saves, and to-hit (for sliding classes), not necessarily in that order. It's often better to prioritize one or two saves and ignore the others than to balance all three. DR is like extra HP if you know it will apply.

Endgame's build targets for entry-level nightmare may provide a useful thought exercise for us, particularly:

2) Save at least +15
3) At least 50hp
4) +hit for classes that slide at least +17
5) For classes that care about AC, it should be around 28
...
7) Class role (ex: 2H damage for Barbarian, Healing for Cleric, AC for paladin for guard)

For Bloody Nightmare the takeaway is not to meet all these targets (we can't!), but to choose which ones to completely ignore in order to come close on as many others as possible -- including a bit of +damage where possible for classes that primarily deal damage.

Please let the group know if you need to borrow any tokens!

I'd love to join as Rogue/Bard!
