So I'm looking at playing Risen Hero now. Since I'll be starting a new character what do you think would be a good race/class combo gameplay and story-wise. Thanks.

I played a Ranger/Rogue. Bard should be good too. You can use your companions' skills at some points, but something with stealth and conversation skills is a safe bet. Wyrin's foraging system is implemented too, but you can use companions for that.

I guess Shaugn can give you a better answer.

I wouldn't use an ECL race. It was difficult enough early on.

I tried to make it so most any class can play the game. As kamal said an ECL race will increase the difficulty and be at a bit of a disadvantage. I haven't received any reports of classes that couldn't complete the game other than my play testing extremes.

You are offered a number of companions and they are spread out through the campaign.
The healer type companion is likely the least under represented, a cleric is offered towards the end of the game. I have provided caches of healing kits/potions to compensate for that, as well as a bard and ranger companion with healing spells.

To access all aspect of game play at least one conversation skill should be developed. I do not use the SOZ party chat. On rare occasions party members may chime in and help, some also can hinder.

For my play testing I used a favored soul, fighter/wizard, duelist and a ranger (stealth specialist). My deep gnome ninja made it pretty far, but was eventual slaughtered and was unable to complete the game --see below--. (she also skipped all the optional quest)

Spoilers:




 
-Several players have commented that they like how their warlock fit into the overall story.
-The end game has three paths. 2 of which you can rely on your companions to help you. The third is a stealth path, to go that way you must have decent hide and move silent skills.

Alright. I'll see what inspires me then.

Another question: if I want to use Kaedrin's latest version, can I delete your version from the RH override or did you customize some files?

Can't you use companions for stealth? I played a stealthy character so I did it myself, but I seem to remember a companion offering to do that.

And yes, Warlock should be a good RP class here. I need to replay this module, since I missed a couple things, so I may try one then.

E.C.: Shaughn can tell you better, but AFAIK, you have to use the K's version included in the module.

Also (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe sometimes you can use only a specific conversation skill, so maxing more than one might be useful.

[Shaughn78]

EC, due to the level of custom content you will need to use the included kaedrin. It currently is using vs 1.41.1.
If you are interested I can update to 1.41.2. I should be able to do that today/tomorrow, just let me know.

[E.C.Patterson]

The override folder said 1.40.3. No problem then if it's actually 1.41.1. No need to update.

I finally decided to play a male dwarven scout BTW.
