Tomb of Horrors

Name looks awesome, never heard of this game but was never a hardcore table topper. Sounds fun though, good luck!

Hard to decide huh?

I wish I could help but I'm a noob when it comes to table top games

I don't personally care about crunch. I think overthinking about numbers completely fucks what a RPG must be.

That being said, Acererak is an undead, so yup, cleric-paladin all the way.

I am a bit behind on stats and rules, but why cleric/paladin? Only real benefit I know would be slightly better hit chance by sacrificing higher level spells. Use to be weapon limits on clerics as well but use of kits can change what those limits are (deity prefered weapons etc)

I know that the game has changed over the years but I remember playing the original Tomb of Horrors back around 1980 (yes, I'm old). Next to Vault of the Drow this was one of the hardest and my most favorite one to GM. I always got my a** kicked when I was a PC!

I would definitely go with a cleric/paladin but it also depends on what the rest of the players are running and how large the group is.
