I feel that both sides intentionally have colorful reasons to both side for and against. It's a nice change not to see sides that are rigid, diametrically opposed schisms. Both sides want what's best, and many supporters want what's best.
So, option one is to just choose the side that feels more ...

I've spent all free time playing the game. Our platform is the Xbox 360, and the weekend after getting the game 11/11/11 helped encourage us to finally get an HD tv (our old tv was 15-20 years old, the text was blurred, and the screen was cut off).
I've only encountered 3 bugs so far (and I'd ...

So, on the docks. You went all around all the homes, and on all docks, in both warehouses, in the caves under the one warehouse, and then in both homes (one will just have 2 goblins, but there's 4 or so that's in the home with the blind woman and her cats). If you did that, then I'm at a loss and ...

As far as the PnP version goes, SR is a percentile roll: even with an SR of, say 90%, the dice has a 10% to roll bad. I'm not disputing that this game uses the SR score as a target to beat on a roll instead, but that seems to make even a low SR much more powerful.

You're at the Shaerngarn "Dam," not the "Bridge."

It sounds like Aerich's hunch is correct. If you've just only battled the area before with wererats, the spider queen, harpies, and this area with small islands, boars, cats, and those Beast Claw-casting Maralites? True, there's a bridge at the ...

I never would have thought there was that kind of a quest for Goublika.

There's no dialogue options, and the giants automatically attack. It seems ...

To add to the previous posts:

Some monsters (Mummies, Djinn) are also unique in that they cast spells. Summoned salamanders create a radius of cold/fire damage to all nearby creatures (ally and foe) and are resistant to their element.

Using the inherent strengths of summoned monsters, you can ...

What I do find entertaining though, is that the characters will still make sounds (grunts, screams, groans, yelps) when struck even when no damage is actually taken.

My characters still took damage in Prologue and Chapter 1. I thought I'd mop the floor with the goblins, but I still had to use some ...

I would NEVER have given up the unarmed BAB, but to each his own.

Part of it is that I had no idea this would happen. I can't find in the manual where it says they lose Unarmed when multiclassing. So, it's too late now.

However, I didn't want any other class to level as a Rogue, and I enjoy ...

The game also "autosaves" your characters when you descend the tower to initiate the final fight. But the problem is that you haven't gotten the XP for the last fight nor any of the good loot from it. I did what you did and was glad I did so. :)

Thanks for the replies. I've read the manual already and was familiar with what the book said, but I was curious if there was anything special that wasn't mentioned in the manual as a surprise benefit for playing HOF.

With your responses, now I can rest easy multiclassing away.
