[QUOTE="trentonjoe, post: 23356, member: 304"] More combat suggestions: -ranged weapons. -weapons that trip or entangle. Bolas and net come to mind. -use suprise. -know the terrain. have the low CR monsters know where to hide or where the pits are. -buffing spells. A third level cleric can cast bless on a bunch of allies and then aid on the champion before combat. -posion really helps. -cover bous. - attack from higher ground. -any spell that hampers movement. Combining these are the key. Five goblins with a third level cleric leader can challenge a 6th level party. -Have the cleric bolster up the goblins -Have the goblins set up shop on top of a 100 foot hill while they are standing behind 3 foot stones. -The goblins fire crossbows (heavy ones for increased damage) at the PCs. -The first round of bolts are posioned. - The hill could contain a bunch of holes in it so that running or charging requires a refles save of 15 to avoid tripping. -The goblins either delay there actions to fire at spellcaster to disrupt there spell OR throw nets or bolas at the charging characters. -The cleric can cast hold person on one character. That would challenge a 5-6th level party in my book. I would put it at a EL of 6 or so do to the increased equitment costs and suprise advantages. [/QUOTE]
