Dungeons and Dragons Board Game Party Hints
By party hints it is meant that we’re talking about suggestions to make your Dungeons and Dragons Board Game session a little better. Nah, forget it, let’s talk about the perfect five character party and how to run them. Character classes in the Dungeons and Dragons Board game have gotten a little crazy in the last few years. At this point they are nearly to the point of having “Ninja Priest Assassin Mages” or something odd like that. For the most diverse party available and to allow you to choose character class I will keep things a little general. The first and foremost has to be the fighter of the group. The only better than a fighter would be two fighters. More than two in a five person group just really sets you up for failure. For our group, let’s just go with one. The fighter should have high hit points and be armed to the teeth. He is going to have to take the brunt of the damage and let’s face it, he doesn’t have to be too smart; just tough. The priest in the party is the fighter’s best friend. These two should really form a working relationship for both of their benefits. The priest needs someone to protect him from all the baddies in the Dungeons and Dragons Board game. The fighter needs a little healing now and then and possible a resurrection if he goes down in battler. If these two can’t work together they both go down. Your party is sure to follow. This next choice is a controversial one, but it makes sense to me anyway. Think ranged damage. Usually, the party will have a mage for this or some sort of magic user. This is fine, but often a ranger or “bow person “will work just as well. In fact, for close quarters they are even better than mages who have lower hit points and sometimes are nothing more than someone else for the fighter to have to rush to. If your party has two fighters, this is a moot point. If they do not, then going with a warrior mage or a ranger is a better deal. The thief has fallen into disfavor over the last few years. This is kind of sad because lots of treasure has been passed up and many traps have been unnecessarily sprung. Thieves are fun characters to play too and often can do things your lawful good characters would never think about. Having a morally gray character in the party is a very good thing at times. The last component is what I call the “floater character”. This is the dark horse of the group. Usually with the other four some element is missing or weak. It is the way of the Dungeons and Dragons Board game. I usually wait until everyone else has picked their race and class so I can best figure out how I can benefit the party. Then I choose a half elf ranger anyway. But you get the point. Believe it or not, this party make up has gotten so convoluted over the past decade or so that the quality of game with the Dungeons and Dragons Board game has dropped. People have just forgotten the basics, or else video games have somehow made us dumber. As for the OTHER party tip: Funions and Mt. Dew are classic. |
