[QUOTE="Vanye, post: 500442, member: 1787"] Well, I've been running the WOTC module Forge of Fury for a couple of months now (short sessions, 3 hours a week). and the party is currently 6 members strong, all 4th with a 5th level cleric/fighter (4/1). They encountered the roper last night. They survived, but only because I removed the things spell resistance, and removed 3 of it's hit dice. Damn that thing is lethal. They didn't kill it, but it fled after getting hit twice in one round with alchemist fire that did maximum damage each (rolled 6, it took 12, for a total of 24 hp). Luckily for them most of them made their saves vs the strength drain, or were barely affected, but if I hadn't weakened it, it would have killed them outright. It's my fault, I didn't re-read the section and check the roper, so I didn't realize how lethal that is, but there is no way in hell a party of 3-4th level characters is going to survive against that thing, long enough to get away, if it's smart. At least it doesn't have combat relfexes....*shudder* [/QUOTE]
