That's, like, really dark compared to what you usually sing.

Oh boy. The first time I played Pool of Radiance was in the mid-90s, when the Goldbox games were already venerable, and I had the X-Files soundtrack running on repeat in my stereo. So thanks for giving me a really disturbing flashback to '96, I guess.

Years ago, I read a quote or comment somewhere that, at least by the time SSB came around, they figured every player was maxing out their stats and balanced the games accordingly.

The most important attribute for Pools of Darkness and Dark Queen of Krynn is dexterity for the boost to initiative, which determines which side gets to cast Delayed Blast Fireball first. Enemy mages all have 18 dex.

as long as it's not vomiting hold person and fire breath every loving turn they could call it susan for all I care

Well, there are also Spectral Dragons that drain four levels each time they hit you in Death Knights of Krynn, if that's more to your liking.

I know absolutely nothing about them other than knowing I had problems with the first one due to party management. I can't really do a game very well unless I'm at least passingly familiar with it. Same engine, sure, but still different mechanics and such.

If that's the only thing holding you back, I could do an effort post about party building and classes in the Krynn trilogy.

It also only applies to the Forgotten Realms games, not the Dragonlance trilogy. Non-humans have way more options there, and elves can be resurrected.
