I have to post to share my sheer joy of playing book two. I absolutely love it! Improves on the first in every single way. Just wrapped up the first act with a rogue pilgrim. Some tough combats but nothing I ever couldn't handle. Story has me gripped and no idea what lies in store in the jungles! Converting a few of my friends over to game books too.

Great work and thank you for such amazing books!

You'll be fine. The default hero I include in Book Two (in case a reader hasn't played Book One) has speed 15 and brawn 18, and only a bunch of fairly standard abilities (and that hero is fine for team battles).

will this hero be any good for team combat in book 2? I am considering starting over to make a better one.

Finished! Act 3 did turn out to be much easier than expected. Some of the legendarys were hard tho and took me a few attempts (Didn't do them all I don't think). I held on to the dragon sword just because and hoped to find something with venom later in the game to benefit from deadly poisons. Sadly was not to be. Passed up on the dagger from the arena which was kinda foolish in hind sight. Also kept the peircing gloves for too long I think.

Thanks xodo! Good to know. No matter I beat the dragon and got the awesome sword. I defeated the ape and snapjaw first and got new headgear (speed 12 now) and a new dagger that helped me. I only have shara kana to beat in the arena before i can do the boss

Yeh act 2 is rough on rogues especially if you specced into a passive ability assassin. Most enemies are immune to venom and deal high damage back at you. Enjoy the payback in act 3 when rogues become gods ;)

Completed everything now except finishing the arena quest, snapjaw monster, and boss. Studying other posts I'm sure I underestimated speed. I think I could be unlucky as I've come to rely on piercing and thorns for damage and the dragon ignores all that. No doubt I made a mistake by taking the upgraded crown of command.

I'll keep trying! I'm fighting the white ape now!!

At what stage of Act 2 are you? The elite boss monsters are best attempted towards the end of that act once your speed is equal to (or greater) than their own. Potions and mushrooms can also help to tip the balance in a close fight.

Any help on making a rogue to take down the dragon in act 2? Many attempts and not come close to killing this beast yet!
