greetings playgrounders,
a few days ago, I announced a 'war game' between a fellow player and myself to test out some new material.
it was a 4 on 4 battle consisting of.
1 psion
1 psychic warrior
1 fighter
1 wild card
all 4th level.
My party ended up being the following
a 4th level savant
a 4th level psychic warrior wielding a mecurial sword
a 4th level dwarf fighter with 2 racial sub levels
a 3rd level Goliath Barbarian.
the op-force consisted of....
4th level psion - discipline unknown
a psion 2/psychic warrior 2 - originally meant to be the wild card.
a half orc for the fighter
and a human paladin as the 'wild card' fill in.
time conspired against my opponent in character creation.
but I digress.
I am curious, of the forces listed, who would you expect to win?
who/what would you pick out as being the 'deciding factor?'
actual results spoilered below, please don't peak before you guess!!!!
battle summary
I 'won' as we had to call the game before it was finished, all 4 of my characters stood, whilst 3 of his 4 lay on the ground somewhere between - 10 and 0 the paladin outlasted them by virtue of A) not being a priority target and B) placement on the battlemat.
MVP of the battle hands down went to the goliath, who alone accounted for ~50% of casualties.
runner up was the DWARF FIGHTER, who performed beyond all expectations as a speedbump and headcapper.
his job was to rush up to the enemy party and stick to the psion like glue, which he accomplished excellently.
