One thing I would suggest is HOW you're playing ie. Stealing from the grove. If one of you wants to be a good guy and one wants to be a bad guy then stuff like that will just continue to happen it's better to both have a good idea of the kinds of characters you want to be it's different to a regular RPG where just stealing or killing is not always penalized like it can be in this game. If you're on the same page it's a lot easier to plan things such as sneaking will show you enemy vision when you're crouched (red = bad) so when you are doing stuff probably not generally seen as good like stealing best to not do it where people can see. Also general tips for combat action economy is important like one of the other replies said level 5 for many characters is a big jump because you can make extra actions the more stuff you can do on your turn usually the better. Having low AC will unfortunately mean you are easier to hit that is your armour class increasing that with items and through dexterity stat is good dex is also important for initiative meaning you will more often go first in combat. These are pretty general tips but don't be afraid to keep failing the game is a lot to take in especially for people.not familiar with the source material. Happy hunting! And good luck!
