Hello Maia
I kind of stumbled over your comment while looking through itch.
Just a little reminder, that Ironsworn’s default stat block is labeled as “perilious”. The lodestar supplement suggests two alternative stat blocks to make things a bit easier or really hard.
Challenging: 4, 3, 3, 2, 2 Perilous (default): 3, 2, 2, 1, 1 Grim: 3, 2, 1, 1, 0
Also remember - when solo playing, don’t be too hard on yourself when doing “Pay the price”. Narrative consequences first, then mechanical.
Kind regards from a fellow Ironsworn enjoyer!
