Enjoying the game, except for just how punishing force prisoner equipment is.
Just keep a prisoner in the front as a tank, spam the taunt move, no one else will get targeted by equip as if they try it the taunt will pull it. Early on make use of dots, the rogue and mage both have nasty dots starting at lvl 2. I often ran 2 mages in the back a cleric and a prisoner in the front. Till you get higher stats the fixed damage per turn of the dots is very strong. Once you have higher stats physical attacks catch up, warriors can be real nasty with cleave later on. But yeah you really need to keep fights short and manage who takes the hits early on.
