The Ducal Labyrinth

i think i'd prefer a bit more tactical variety and maybe some enemy spell casters rather than just cranking up the enemies to have a +15 to hit and 6d6 damage each attack, its a little bit overboard.

Great job! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some very challenging fights, even for a well-equipped level 12 party. Personally, I liked some of the fights with tons of mobs. I understand people not wanting to wait so long for their turn, but every round gets shorter as you finish more off. And if you fill a hallway with wall of fire and spikes, you can just watch them run in and die over and over. :)

I have very much enjoyed this so far. I am unable to get into the center area that looks like it has a trap door. Am I missing something? I have found all other areas, and fought all the baddies. Just that one section is inaccessible. Thanks!

c'est difficile

An update: I've made some changes based on select parts of the feedback from Acadiantri, you can see the result in the patch notes to 1.61.

Thank you for the feedback!! Duly noted.

One last thought: make sure your mini-bosses have minions with them. Otherwise, action economy makes those fights too easy (even with the severe hp bloat some of the bosses had).

Also, please avoid the 20+ mob fights. One or two, here or there, is okay (not really), but waiting for the enemies to go is just tiresome.

I found the maze lay-out worked against many of the mobs and in favor of the party by narrowing the avenues of approach. Might want to design the areas where encounters happen so the lay-out helps the mobs. The characters are levels 10-12. It's okay to use teleporters to split the party; secret or locked doors that open around the party. Otherwise, spike growth, fire wall, and wind wall become the OP answer to every encounter.

Finished. Good effort. Too many repetitive battles that required the same basic strategy though. Here are the fights I enjoyed: (i) the madmen were surprisingly effective (surprise is fun); (ii) the giant apes were tough on the way to the greater R (in fact, they were tougher than the Greater R); and (iii) the appearing bulette and archers on the one chest (again, unexpected and cool, plus I love the bulette's animation when it leaps). Liked that there were no traps, though an occasional one with synergy with the mobs you're fighting is okay (e.g. a fire trap in an area with fire resistant or fire-healed mobs). Need to add an exit (to no where) so players can update their PCs at the end (and get the victory screen to see how often that one character rolled a 1).
