One more, for good measure: Most of the foes in the module have high DEX scores...and low ACs? The DEX is used to compute their attack values, but apparently not their ACs. This seems like a strange defiance of the 5e rules.

Also, HP counts are given as flat values, with no way to randomly generate them based on level and CON. Weird things like this make it difficult to come up with XP values for the encounters too. Why not just use standard monster stat blocks?

WARNING: This is not a finished work! It's pretty much just a bunch of notes that could be turned into a CYOA-style adventure with the help of an editor, some artists and playtesters, and an actual DM for things like balance, XP awards, etc. Caveat emptor!

Also, while I appreciate the warning that the combats are 'not designed to be easy, or balanced', that's perhaps not the best way to entice players into your adventure. What does is mean to say that 'the story is designed to be played by a party of adventurers at 3rd level', when the combats are, apparently, not balanced for them? Would it be too blunt to simply say, "The story is designed to kill a party of 3rd level adventurers?"

Please consider having an editor's feedback integrated into a revised version. There are numerous spelling, grammar, and content issues.

Peter. We need more information on this product. Is it a solo 5e product? If so, what levels? Please look at other titles sold here as a template and update your description so that we can see what we are purchasing.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
