That alone asks for drastic challenges and high risk encounters.I've got 4 players and an important NPC attatched to the party. Up until now everyone died once, but last session they all dropped due to one enemy.The Cleric of Shar human was level 8, a Astral Deva (Fallen - Evil) level 6 (Savage Species), Evoker 7 human, Necromancer 6 human and a ECL 9 NPC vs 1 enemy.That enemy was a 7th level Curst (FR template) fighter with a bastard sword (no shield) and just a studded leather armor. A +1 keen bastard sword, +2 studden leather armor, Bracers of Deflection +2 were everthing it had.And it cut them all down on that single huge stairs leading up to that temple of Ilmater....The fact was the Curst was heavily cloaked and all his facials and body were covered so they all screwed up by what they were facing. Just later the NPC and one wizard saw it but were both killed (wiz by an aoo and npc by 2 hits, (all 3 crits)).The Cleric hadn't participated because he was fighting off 7 gargoyles all by himself and came out with 60 HP left. (lol).He threw off his cloak and strode up to meet the curst in single combat and killed it in 2 blows. Ah well... they had to spend tons of cash and equipment on 2 miracles to get teh NPC and the Deva Outsider back and ressed the rest...So am I a Killer... probably since everyone died once now exept for the necro who died 2 times and at the levels presented above as a result in 5 months. I like high risk challenges and they have to because else they just walk over them (what I let happen alot but not too often so they keep alert and don't get to arrogant. Powergamers have to be kept in line I think...)If they powergame and munch, I do the same, that's the price to pay. So imho they made me a killer. But then again, we're all 5 having a BLAST while playing so it's all great <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> They hate dying but they learn and pick up.</blockquote>
