I just finished my first run-through of the early release. I found the battles either SUPER easy or CRAZY tough. In the tough ones, it often seemed the only solution was to find the highest spot in the area so you could actually hit things with your bow (I chose a Ranger to fill out the characters classes available). I'm not sure of the solution to this issue, but I would like a little more balance or more clever ways to win these battles.
Just my 2 coppers.
I second that.
I'm level 3 , but gotten only as far as the goblin camp till now and a few excursions in the neigbourhood, meeting the gnolls an githyanki. (In a previous game as lev. 4)
Often had to do fights 3 tmes or more. The opponents start downing characters after maybe 4 rounds. I had hardly hit one of them by that time.
(Magic missiles excepted, but then the first character that's downed is always Gale of course)
(And the guiding bolt should be renamed to misguiding bolt, since it misses most of the time)
