By the time they hit levels 5 and 6, they knew their roles in the party.  As they gained more and more spells and abilities, they adapted... rather quickly sometimes.Then there were the times they made stupid mistakes and got creamed for it, but that could've happened at any level.  And... it did happen sometimes...Welll.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Pretty true I think, but there have been times where the PC's have plowed through a couple of tough, level-appropriate monsters with relative ease.  There have also been times that I've challenged the level 11+ PC's with intelligently played low-level mooks (most of which didn't grant XP).Single, powerful monsters usually get creamed super fast... especially when the group prepares.  The PC's were planning on ambushing a powerful Necromancer that was about 5 or so levels higher than their level.  The guy was buffed up and only got off two spells before being forced to retreat.  He returned later on a couple of times until the party rogue went after him solo and killed him with a single Sneak Attack. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
