[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9525659, member: 7044462"] I killed characters in abundance. But i give fair warning at session zero that my games are grim, gritty and more lethal than usual. But in most cases, if players are smart, they can avoid combat all together or sound tactical retreat (for that one, they do need to plan ahead, but there is always options to create safe escape avenue). But, let's get to OP and LOTR and see our protagonists in D&D terms. Gandalf- literal angel Aragorn- for all intents and purposes, best race would be aasimar. He is also 90ih by the time of Fellowship, with decades of martial experience and training. So at least level 10 fighter/ranger mc. Legolas - he is at least 500, but probably older, with damn lot of fighting experience, so lets say he is also around level 10 Gimli - around 140, lets say level 8-10 Boromir - 40, but with years of warfare experience, so at least fighter 6-8 Hobbits are lv 1 experts, Frodo maybe lv 2 as he is 50 at the start. So, they are in effect, they are high tier 2, low tier 3 characters with one immortal celestial and 4 low level hirelings. Most of LOTR is actually tier 1 adventure. One time they run into high CR encounter (Balrog), Gandalf solos it. [/QUOTE]
