TOPIC: FULL GHC Grind: Flame of Hate NM/Epic Sat 1:30 pm

I should add that the party will have at least 10 Auri's Candles and 10 Harlax Lamps, so everyone can add those. And at least 10 Charms of Awakened Synergy, which I recommend everyone equip as well.

Here's the Barbarian build I plan to use, pending any additional information we learn before Saturday. The stats on the website are slightly off from the stats showing on the IOS app, but it gives the general idea. (Charm of the Elements doesn't show up as -5 Fire on the website, but that's what it will be. If we decide to play NM instead of Epic, I'll swap out Charm of the Lava Fiend and either Ring of Fire Absorption, Bead Firehold, or IS Ruby Rhombus for something else. Unless the monsters do so much fire damage that keeping the extra 5 fire DR makes sense.)

Here's the build Brian plans to use for Grind. Like my build, there are some small discrepancies between the IOS app and the website that I don't have the energy to track down right now. Some of the fire DR could potentially come out if we play NM instead of Epic.

Suggestions welcome on both builds.

Quick update: we have enough IS Iridescent Spindle to lend to anyone who doesn’t have one. Also have some Bead Firehold, Ring of Fire Absorption, IS Ruby Rhombus, Stalker Faerie Charm, and 1 Charm of the Lava Fiend.

Heya-

I've gone through my builds - and while my glass cannon Elf would be fun™, I'm thinking we'll need to keep heals for the group rather than for my shenanigans. I know it's late in the "game" but would folks be opposed to be flexing BACK to monk? Would do drunken master for this run to get free potion chugging and a +3 init bonus to try and make up for the lack of Staff of Power. ALL good if we don't want to be shuffling this late. I'll come prepared for both regardless!

I'll run as paladin so you can go as the drunken monk. I've never done paladin before, so it'll be a double adventure!

Thanks everyone for joining this run! Talk about a buzzer-beater.

Thank you for letting me join the team; I wouldn't have been able to Grind otherwise! Many TD memories created. (Thanks for the equipment loan, too! No way I'd run a character the first time as well as it turned out...all guards successful!). Hope the rest of the Con goes well for all of you, and being in Wisconsin, even the fire plain is welcome. Finally, Raven and Picc are the best!!!!!
