[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6646992, member: 54629"] I'm currently playing an 18th level fighter/paladin in a converted Age of Worms campaign. Maybe it's just because the DM's been converting stuff over from 3.5, but for the last few levels, the game's felt a bit too easy. We can deal a lot of damage and take a lot of damage, and we can do things that bypass a lot of stuff that would've been challenging a few levels earlier. I agree that solo monsters are too easily dispatched. The last big solo boss fight we had was with this monstrously huge carrion crawler. The DM had given it legendary and lair actions, but those hardly slowed us down. We dispatched that thing with ease. I want to say that giving it minions would've helped, but it would've depended on the kind of minions. An earlier fight we had consisted of a horde of undead creatures trying to scale a slope while some monstrous skeletal dragon thingy loomed over them. My paladin used [I]plant growth[/I] to slow the horde's advance and the druid shapechanged into a gold dragon and that was that. We picked off the horde easily from a safe distance, while the druid dragon dealt with the skeleton thing. I'm glad to hear that other DMs are still able to challenge their high level PCs, though. It's possible my DM just hasn't figured out how to do it properly yet. [/QUOTE]
