<DIV>I had the weekend planned.</DIV>
<DIV>On Monday I ordered the complete Babylon 5 box set. I followed with
eager eyes the <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://postoffice.co.uk/" target=_blank>postoffice.co.uk</A> website
to track it. Ohhh now it's in England, Holland and yesterday Denmark. I
bought some nice red wine. I bought my favorite crisps. I drove home today
and thar she blows. A package for me from <A

<DIV>I took it inside, gently. I caressed it open so as not to scratch the

<DIV>What was inside?</DIV>

<DIV>The Complete Dawson's Creek.</DIV>

<P>Conor is gone next week, are there suggestions? CLW potions at 58 gp
a pop are getting ridiculous if you use 5-10 a quest (and I popped over
20 last Tuesday). Can we get Diarm started? A Paladin
maybe?</P></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr">When do paladins start getting decent healing?
I think we really need a big ass Fighter with huuuge intimidate and bluff
(so that the rogue can use lots of backstabbing and trips) and a kick ass
healer... can we get both in one package? I'm not sure what DnD3.5 pallys
are like.... I played one briefly in Beta but at level 1 he had no
healing so I couldn't assess the healing
side.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr">
<DIV><BR>Paladins start getting healing at level 4, the same level as
rangers. :) <BR><BR>The pally in DDO is a bit of a mutant (most of the
classes are) as you probably know they've given him a +2 Armour Class bonus
aura presumably because they don't get a mount (surprisingly WoW-like IMHO)
but TBH I'd rather see a fighter than a pally join because fighters are
decent blokes and pallies are all, like, oooh, I'm, like, lawful good and a
paladin and you all, like, have to do what I say... and they, like, totally
reek of horses even though there aren't any in the game[1]. <BR><BR>Diarm is
gonna try it out, I'll try and help him along as far as the Waterworks at
least this weekend. I'll let him know we kinda need a WOD member (I won't
tell him that he will be the WOD :) ).<BR><BR>[1] Opinion (C)

<P>I do feel as we advance slowly that we're going to need more people,
we've been getting by with 4 for now but as I said above we are slumming
it on lower level quests. What about Ade and Paula? They not interested?
Who else from the old crew might be able to commit to one night a week?
We need them soon as we're all level 3 now and the further we advance
the more catching up they have to do. </P>
<P>Other than that I think we need to slow down as well. We got
fireballed by that muppet recently as we charged up the hill
because</P></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

<P>2) We didn't see his CR - that would have been a good indication
fireball was a possibility - we need to use the utility spells a little
more, I mean when was the last DND game you went into battle unbuffed?
</P>
<P>I realise waiting for my report back can be a tad tedious but it will
save lives later and now the death penalty is getting larger each time.
We need to use tactics more, protect the mage, he goes down the
firepower dies with him, wait to fire those first arrows until we find
out how many muppets are around the corner, and I don't know what to say
to Conor as the Cleric class is far different from what I'm used to -
pure healer or part tank? We need both until we get a full tank. </P>

<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr">Yes agree totally... Actually the bad guy was
my fault... I'm usually the one urging caution and scouting and I let a

<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr">When's Conor off galivanting? Could we somehow
fit in a brief session this weekend somewhere? I'd love to do a "tactics"
session.. no goal (in terms of dungeon) but choose some low level plebs to
take on with a view to sorting out our group combat dynamics.
</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr">
<DIV><BR>If so, we could walk Diarms char through a few dungeons, maybe even
the waterworks, I can blow the dust off my level 2 cleric and get him
through the rest of the harbour if needs be (it'd be best, I reckon if we
didn't take the quest, or if we enter and exit the quest a few times to
knock down our XP for it, I don't really want to rush through the game and
somehow I've got a chunk more XP than you guys). <BR> </DIV></DIV>
