[QUOTE="AntiStateQuixote, post: 6864238, member: 30770"] Let's do this thing. No need for me to roll stats. Make the characters using standard point buy. I will endeavor not to use "cheap DM-side exploits" but I can't be sure you and I'll agree on what that means. :angel: I will run the monsters using the most optimal anti-murderhobo tactics that I can come up with. I am a card-carrying member of the Rat Bastard DMs Club (TM). Are you going to use multiclassing and feats? If yes, then I would suggest I have the DM-side option of tweaking monsters as per DMG guidelines (alternate spells for spellcasters, for example). Will your PCs have magic items? If yes, then some of the monsters will have some minor magic items and non-standard equipment. Five level-13 PCs: Medium encounter ~11,000 xp Hard encounter ~17,000 xp Total budget will be about 120,000 xp which exceeds the daily xp allotment but is in the range of 4 medium and 4 hard encounters. I can have something ready to go next weekend. My regular D&D group plays on Saturday nights. Let's do this next Saturday or Sunday during the day? Google Hangout or Skype works for me. I'm expecting this will take a couple or three sessions of 3 - 5 hours each. [B][SIZE=4]One Standard Adventure Day[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=2]Or TPK By the Book[/SIZE][/B] Optimus Minimus Maximus, the supreme patron of murderhobos throughout the multiverse, has summoned the finest crafted and exquisitely tweaked adventurers in the Forgotten Realms (or other high fantasy world of your choice). He lays before these intrepid mercenaries a mighty challenge: "If you can survive running the gauntlet of my finely crafted and well-balanced dungeon of level-appropriate encounters in a single day whilst resting for meals and recovery only twice then I will give to you [insert names of five rare magic items of interest to the PCs]." The gauntlet consists of several interconnected locations in and around a volcano known to be inhabited by a red dragon and his kobold minions. The red dragon is rumored to serve a powerful spellcaster who has all manner of fiends, undead and other creatures at her disposal. She is a servant of Optimus Minimus Maximus with orders to destroy any would-be Murderhobos Supreme that make their way to her domain. Successfully liberating the five magic items and destroying the guardians will win you the title of Minimus Maxiumus Hobo Murderous. [/QUOTE]
