And I think we're full! Math is my enemy.
Welcome Evilhalfing!
(Should we take an alternate or two, just as players?)
We can play around with xp levels. For the record the A3 encounter that I was referring two is for 5 1st level characters, and has 1250 xp (admittedly with some caviates) -> that's the equivalent of a 6th level encounter (250 xp per member).
In my example 33,000 for 8 characters is 4,125 roughly equivalent to 22nd level. Which means that the upper bound is basically the same as A3 (assuming
1st level vs 6th level is equivalent to
17th level vs 22nd level).
I've seen posts on the boards where a well tuned party of cruised through A3 in about 5 rounds. No fatalities.
And I've seen TPKs.
I really have no idea whether the budgets we're talking about will fall into one area or the other (I mean... 8 pcs means 8 action points, 20+daily powers, --> potentially we're seeing the PCs drop 16 daily powers in the first round of combat...
That's a lot of hurt.).
I envision KK encounters to be the "final encounter of a major story arc"; epic stuff (not epic level but...). And obviously, there will be a mix of encounters among the three, if someone puts a lot of xp into one encounter the other two will necessarily be easier).
When I post the thread I will definitely ask for feedback from the community. If people think the encounters are unfair I'll almost certainly adjust down.
And, of course, anything that I do in the first encounter you'll get to do back to me when I'm a player and you're a DM. :evil:
