I wasn't sure there'd be some activity on my post when I got home from Encounters so this was a pleasant surprise. One quick note that I didn't mention in my first post (but should have) is that this isn't the first high level one shot I've run for this particular group of friends. This will just be the first I've done for this edition. Previous one shots have featured dragons as the main final encounter (our first was against a black that wiped out the party and others have been against a white and a red) but I wanted to run portions of this box set for one of the players who lists this adventure (or maybe just the artifact driving the adventure) as his favorite that he's never played.Re: Kobold Guide to Combat.  Sounds good.  I actually hadn't heard of this so thanks for that pointer. I'll have a look at the description and see what I want to do there (print, PDF, or both).Re: Lots of lower level baddies. Thanks for the reminder. I definitely will have to keep that in mind and not go crazy with beefing up all the monsters to uber levels. I definitely want to keep Miska as a very high level (I'm thinking in the 23 or 24 level range, but am not certain). I may go similar with a couple of the other named monsters. Thankfully, the pit fiend is already at CR 20. Oh, and I'll want to come up with some good Lair actions as well.I'm definitely letting the players create characters if they so choose. Once I mentioned it was going to be 20th level, there seemed to be a lot of perking up at the idea. I suspect once I tell them this will be the scenario, there will be that much more interest. I'll probably tell them this weekend (though my wife already knows) but I wanted to get some initial groundwork set first.I'll also have to take a look at how much potential damage they 'll be able to dish out so that I don't have combats end up being too short.Thanks for the help so far. Time to hit the books.</blockquote>
