I'd say I went wood-elf more for the +movement than the proficiency, but it's still a lil extra gravy for me. I do also appreciate the visual character of elves as well.

I'm now at Monk2/Sor1 with the same group. We blasted through the sentinel goblins & their worgs at the bridge pretty easily, but definitely took some damage & spent some spells.
*Even got my first shove-kill pushing a heavily injured Gobbo off of the archery tower on a bonus action since I didn't want to give him another swing smile But...

Now I'm feeling like I am in a bit over my head...There are SO Many Goblins! Guessing, Yes, I was totally over confident and just wanted to do some battle now that I've got a full group.
And besides quantity, as my friends used to sometimes point out on my old Dungeon Master/Storylines: too many of them are leveled up with class skills. I mean I figured out how to get the Priestess solo but then the rest of camp comes crashing in anyway, like they can see through the walls. Feels like I need to back off from winning the first battle and go buy some more healing potions and perhaps try again at 4th level? And/or fully healed & spell stocked...
I have not even found the other 2 leaders yet...and I think I fooked up the Volo story too.

By my math guestimations: Gobbo Priestess/Shaman's 40 hit points implies 5th level cleric with a +2 constitution bonus...


I am trying pretty hard & mostly succeeding at not reading any spoilers and figuring things out the hard way by sometimes playing through parts multiple times to see different scenarios.
As much as I do appreciate that they've kept a good bit of Role Playing in this RPG; most of us play these games for the combat & to test our characters skills, abilities & strategies. Right?


Hope you are enjoying a very Happy Thanks-Feasting!!! Cheers!
