[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5101399, member: 326"] The weird thing is that, by the book, the Pey is balanced as is. In fact, one of 4Es strengths is that it is actually quite difficult to unbalance it. That said, I think the designer has a responsibility to create not only challenging monsters, but fun monsters and I don't think a one round kill on a character is necessarily that fun*. *At least not in the Heroic Tier...but you guys darn well better expect nastiness when you reach the epic tier...and when you hit legendary tier its going to be like the beach scene at the start of Saving Private Ryan. I just love reading threads where people go on about the epic monsters being no challenge to epic characters. BWAH-HA-HA-HA! :devil: The Vampire Bestiary, it doesn't just raise the stakes, it gives monsters more bite. :lol: Unlike the core rulebooks, I generally don't pull any punches. This may be the one exception just because its [B]such [/B]a low level. [/QUOTE]
