[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5090797, member: 463"] I'm not planning to run any skill challenges as-written, I find the system far too mechanistic. They tend to be written as success = fun, failure = less fun, and I find the process irksome, so I tend to have near-automatic success: roll 1 success before 3 failures sort of thing. Currently they're 2nd-3rd level, should be 2nd-4th after Sunday's game, our 10th session. By the time they complete the current 'super adventure' - 4e conversion of Vault of Larin Karr - I'd expect them to be around 9th/10th* level. I'm thinking if I give them a big XP award on completion they may be at the verge of Paragon. Then I have an old White Dwarf 1e adventure I want to run in 4e, Necklace of Brisingamen, which concerns the conflict between Freya and Loki (with fire giants!). That could take the PCs to 11th/12th and lead into 'Revenge'. *I could be wrong on that; VoLK is a sand-box and there's no linear route; how long it takes is very much up to the players. But the highest level foes that need to be defeated to win are around 10th level in my conversion. A smart party could conceivably complete it as early as 6th level I think. [/QUOTE]
