[QUOTE="Mentat55, post: 4705508, member: 14840"] I am planning a 4e demo for my 3.5e Shackled City group. They are all experienced 3.5e players. There will be 5 PCs -- dragonborn fighter (or human wizard, he is waffling), eladrin paladin, halfling rogue, dwarf warlord, and eladrin ranger. I have back-up PCs that cover the other PHB classes and some of the other races. The session should be about 6 hrs. I wanted to have a coherent, if somewhat plot-light, adventure. I definitely want to include an opening combat to get everyone used to the system, a battle that includes monsters and traps/hazards simultaneously, a skill challenge, and a boss fight against a couple of elite monsters (or one solo), probably with a hazard or trap thrown in. For level 4 PCs, I am leaning towards classic D&D humanoids, either orcs or gnolls. I kind of want to throw in a dragon at the end, but an elite/solo demon or iconic D&D aberration might work as well. Anyone do something like this before and have ideas? Any set pieces, encounters, or particular details you thought really showed off 4e's strengths well? [/QUOTE]
