I'm running a party of 7 though a WOTC module. The module is really designed for 4-5 PC that should be L7 at this point. My group is a L5 Sorcerer, L5 Fighter (BM), L5 Fighter (EW), L4 Barbarian, L5 Rogue, L4 Druid. Well CR9 solo challenges are nothing to them, there is a CR 9 cloud giant with 200 HP that they were able to isolate and before he got a single attack he was at half HP. He got in 2 hits before he started to flee only to be destroyed with magic weapons and spells before he could get very far. He was the #2 "big bad" and ended up being a joke. Now there is a CR 13 200 HP white dragon to be faced and I'm thinking I either need to give him closer to max HP or add in minions of some sort, maybe a young white dragon or a few wyrmlings, or he is not going to be an epic fight. But it depends, foes with legendary actions throw a wrench in the mix. Really its up to me as a DM to know my party and set up foes to challenge them accordingly. I've got a larger than average group and it complicates things slightly.</p></blockquote><p></p>
