[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1598993, member: 158"] One of the nice things is that by 9th level, the PC's will be able to infiltrate the Giants in ways that 1st edition parties never could. Parties of 1E characters were usually 5th to 7th level by the time they got there; 5th and 6th level characters could not Poly self into a hill giant, and their rogues were not that great at sneaking about. Nowadays, a 9th level PC party has tons of ways to infiltrate. The nice thing here is that they can get glimpses of all the NPC interactions and politics going on in those modules - some cool stuff, indeed. OTOH, if you expect your PC's to brute force their way in, they should be in about as much trouble as a head strong party back in 1E would be - which is to say, they'd be screwed. The optimum tactics for this module in 1E was to be sneaky and hit and run as much as possible, or be stealthy and check things out. This should hold true for a 3E retelling. [/QUOTE]
