Either way it's what the players enjoy so no harm done.I enjoy informing my players that they just beat a triple-deadly threat with minimal losses. It makes them feel good. (I likewise enjoy informing them that they just got schooled by a small band of CR 1/4 drow. It makes them feel scared of the Underdark.)YMMV, but I'm very much of the school that says "self-pacing and character trees render balance issues moot." Rolled stats, Sharpshooter: knock yourself out.</blockquote>
