[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9039008, member: 5889"] If we are talking about 9 7th level characters = 4 Xth level characters....I would say closer to 14th/15th level. Yeah its that high, the offense of this party will dwarf even many high level parties in terms of raw pain, they will be able to mow through monsters. I can't understate how important the action economy is in 5e, everything else is secondary. The catch though is those areas effects. Your dragon with its breath weapon, or a big fight with a lot of fireballs, I would increase the encounter budget of those by another 25-30%, as they will have an inordinate power against your party. On the flip side, legendary actions and resistances will be much weaker against this party than normal (I wouldn't actually bother with boss monsters in this encounter other than maybe your final dragon, they will just get smoked).
