[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 652311, member: 79"] Maybe it's just how my game goes, but if my PC's found the bad guy's keep guarded by 1st level warriors they'd instantly get suspicious to the point of paranoia. But then my PC's are also the type to say things like "If those are his guards, how has this guy lasted so long? A really tough blackguard or wizard should be able to find some decent help." In my game, basic seasoned rank and file samurai weigh in around 4th level. Still sleep spellable, still saving v. death against spells like cloud kill. But to the group early on a good threat. By the middle levels the group is at now, those rank and file are good arrow foddle who'll last a bit before going down. By the time the group hits 20th level, the same guys who gave them so much trouble early in their career will be dropping like flies. For my game at least this seems to work pretty well. [/QUOTE]
