Ok my group has been trying out 4th lately. We are just doing simple combats to see how the system works.
We have done a couple of 1st level combats with no problem. Everything seem ok there. A couple of 5th level combat still everything is going good. Now we have the 2 11th combats. 1st combat went good. So we all deceiced to try a solo monster. So I pick a 11th level Adult Black Dragon.
Ok the setup for this is Me(DM), plus my 4 players 1 Human warlock(infernal pact), 1 Dragonborn Paladin, 1 Human Wizard and 1 Half-Elf Rouge. The monster I chose for them to fight was a solo monster 1 Adult Black Dragon. Fight went on for a while. They did kill it, but as my players put it. It was a boring fight. None of the players was any where near hurt, only the pal had to use all but 1 of his healing surges.
So did I miss something there or what? Only thing I can figure is that Black Dragons are lurkers and do not do a lot of damage.
