Even if I stocked up on healing potions I still don't think I could've beat King Louis as my brawn and abilities we're still somewhat borked at that point.

As far as the Hydra goes, I fail at reading comprehension. If I had realized it only regenerated once I probably could of taken him. Also the Marsh Striders you get for killing the Hydra probably would of allowed me to take on King Louis.

Thanks for posting! A couple of healing potions can usually see you through the fight with King Louis. Re: the hydra, he only heals once remember (so unless you are going for the special achievement, you can just wait for that first heal, and then pummel him to death!).

Glad you enjoyed the book - good luck with your future adventures!

Notes: My first character. Just finished LoS with him. Once I got a grip on the rules the book went fairly smoothly except for act 2 where I sacrificed too much brawn for speed and ended up giving up some good abilities to get my damage back up. He managed to beat most of the opponents he fought except for King Louis and the Hydra in Act 2 since he couldn't outpace King's Louis's passive damage with so little armour and couldn't do enough damage to the Hydra without an unreasonable amount of luck. He also fell fighting the Necromancers and Skeleton Horde in the Winter's Hill quest mainly because somedays the dice just hate you. I also ended up cheating on the dwarven puzzle with modifiers (I don't think I would of ever thought of putting modifiers on the rows) but did fine with the other puzzles.

I did have a lot a fun with this character and am looking forward to posting my next one. I just have to decide whether to start the next book or try LoS with another character build.
