[QUOTE="Master of the Game, post: 3063415, member: 9220"] Thanks all for so many replies, so quickly. I really appriciate the help. I should have meantioned that anything that is 3.5 DnD will work, as we use all of the major splats. I will also likely be using a 32 point buy, since that's what the players used, and I'd at least like him to be their equal. The party is quite tough, and high level. This is basically the end of our campaign. If it helps, here is a rundown of the players: 6 Fighter / 5 Wizard / 3 Eldrich Knight 14 Warlock with a great love for using Greater Dispel at every opportunity. 12 Psychic Warrior who uses a combination of abilities to grow to huge, graft a waraxe, and then Emapthic Transfer, Hostile any damage he has received. Scout/Order of the Bow 13 not sure the exact level spread. Rogue 11 / Bard 1 sneak attacker. Rogue/Cleric/pretige class I can't remember 13. Mindblade 13. Uses Deep Impact + Power Attack for devistating initial hits. Rogue 12. Ranged sneak attacker. The NPCs will be: Said Mastermind 14. Warmage 14 Ninja 13 Fighter 4 / Rogue 3 / Dervish 6 Fighter 12 Fighter 12 Fighter 12 So, the fight will be 8 on 7. With one PC probably missing, the fight will be even, but I'm unsure if the Rogue/Bard will bring his cohort or not, which would give the group a 9th level cleric as well. It'll be darn tough, since the levels are about even, but the group will be ambushing, so they'll be prepared and buffed, and the bad guys won't have anything time-sensitive up. My worry is that the PCs will slaughter a significant portion of the bad guys so fast that the fight isn't as fun as the climax should be. [/QUOTE]
