[QUOTE="Taloras, post: 1599021, member: 2773"] Some advice from someone who has actually PLAYED in this in 3rd edition rules. Either power up the PCs a bit, or power down the monsters. We played through it around 9-10th level, and had some problems. we were LUCKY. Such as having the more powerful hill giant making 2 1s on his saving throws on Phantasmal Killer. Or having our rogue have a weapon that stuns on a crit (no save, the DM allowed the weapon from arms & Armour by bastion press). We were prepared, and STILL had problems. So you might want to power it down just a bit. Take out a few of the giants if you think the PCs will need it. However, if you end up leading them to the Frost Giant area (the next one), PLEASE power down the white dragons. Dragons got a lot tougher in 3rd edition. We got clobbered by the first one. In earlier editions, it may have been even, but the dragon became a CR 15 at least....then an even older dragon on top of it....CR 17 at least. We couldnt touch either one. (AC of 40+....no pure fighter in the group.....player quit.) My rogue took 105 points of damage in the first full combat round. He had 97. He went from full to -7 in one round of fighting the WEAKER white dragon. So if you do this one as well, lower the dragons. [/QUOTE]
