I am trying Flame's mod again with a more challenging party. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to take advantage of some new weapons made available in the Monkery. We are at the door to Arnika road and I will try making it to Arnika tonight. The question is, how much is too weak? Is there a way to tell before wasting more effort with a party that will never make it past a certain point?

I have kept levs to 5 and am eligible to 7 in each char. The battles have already been close calls, many chars going down to 1 or two HP before being rescued. Had to reload multiple times just to get by 3 Rabid Rats. Using a trio this time:

Bard Gnome (double swording, aiming for gnomic shield and sword later)
Doggie Bishop (flail, just got +1 shield, will get great staff later)
Mook Psionic (perhaps going to monk soon, stuck with weak staff)

Any thoughts? I'll let you know if we can survive. You can list your weak parties, too, if trying this path. I'm not sure I'd try this one in original game, but so far has been the same. Zig
