Do I need to start over? Im so weak.

[Lycon]

I feel like I made all the wrong choices in class creation etc. My party feels SO weak compared to equal opponents (everyone was lvl 2 with basic gear) but they kept rekking me SO hard. I had to reload like 5 times. (the fight in the chappel.) I also do so little dmg, I got a spear with 2-9 dmg with shadow girl and she does like 3-4 dmg each hit. never more?

It won't make much different re-creating a character, your 3 companions can carry you

Shadowheart is a cleric. Stop attacking with weapons with her, cast your damn spells.

[MachineGod]

Deff re-start and make sure you have the biggest genitals option. This will give you a +1 to all stats

Well she has like firebolt and all the others are on CD.

Generally, you should use spell slot spells sparingly ( you need to rest when you run out ) and then use cantrips, and also rest. I think that the spellcasting system is generally unfamiliar to most people who are not familiar with DnD rules, and takes some getting used to.

You can recreate your character 20 times if you had just common sense the first time around you won't get better results. It's 5E, your choices don't matter.

And Sacred Flame, which actually uses her wisdom

[el0ax]

some folks are saying turn off "karmic dice" and re-fight, see if that makes a difference

CD?! What? None of the spells have a cooldown. Use the Rest to long rest and get your spellslots back before fighting please.

and also - how many people are in your party? If its just Shadowheart and you - you should go explore to get the other companions, you should have 4 People in the Party

So I assume your talking about the fight in the chapel right on the start. So for me me and the cleric were able to clear the undead after one reload. The second time I just started slapping the bodys before they woke up lol and got lucky and got out a alive. When I got to the bandits I was able persuade the top people to leave and when I went into the little celler to clear the other bandits they were spanking me hard... So I legit just dipped. I ended up coming back after hitting a wall with a goblin camp and was able to clear out the bandits... Just barely though.. They were tough lol.

[wildrivers]

DRUID become Spider wolf cat and 2 others at level 2

[SpineFish]

If your talking about the bandits in the Chapel - firebolt the explosive barrel for an EZ win and probably the achievement for attacking 5 times in one turn

[➕⁺+₊ ⁺]

There is something wrong with your game, - too few enemies - should be no less than 15-20 enemies in a group. 1-10 damage is definitely a bug! Your flashy skills should dish out 350000-500000 every swing in AOE, and enemies should pop with that special satisfying sound. I think you accidentally bought the wrong game my friend

A lot of people will restart this game. No shame in that. It's a common occurrence in games like these. Especially due to the amount of inexperienced players that this game attracted.

A lot of them are just here to kill time until Starfield releases, not because they want to 'git gud' at turn-based role-playing games. You will improve if you have patience and a desire to learn. You'll need to take your time, though.

Unfortunately, I've played them for thousands of hours, so I don't find them particularly challenging anymore. Some players have an unwanted degree in this crap.

You could pick a Fighter. Become a tank for survival purposes.

Or, since this story already has every class of companion written into it, aside from Bard, Monk and Sorcerer, why not pick one of those three. Sorcerers have an overpowered spell or two. Monks have tremendous speed.

Have a balanced party. Fighter, Rogue, Monk, Ranger.

Or Fighter, Rogue, _____, Sorcerer.
