[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5181909, member: 87792"] "Not a threat, not a challenge"? You mean my players don't feel threatened or challenged by encounters where several of them have been reduced to negative hit points? (The only two combat encounters I've run where no one hit negatives, one was ended through diplomacy and the other didn't have any minions). You mean that there shouldn't be pets and half-involved bystanders or trainees that are easily driven off while the core of thugs is solid? Or that the Necromancer's skeleton horde should all be almost as tough as the necromancer himself? Rather than a [I]horde[/I] - with a dozen or so skeletons, a couple of zombies, and the necromancer in one fight. You mean that I shouldn't run a lynch mob stirred up by agents - but with the would be lynchers breaking when they take a solid blow? Or did you think I ran any encounters where the opposition [I]only[/I] consisted of minions? I normally run three different types of bad guy at once (with multiple instances). [/QUOTE]
