Message: <blockquote data-quote="Atavar" data-source="post: 3769150" data-attributes="member: 7136">I am currently running the SCAP hardcover for my players, set in Eberron, with Cauldron set in the jungles of Q'barra.  I think we've been playing for about a year in real time (about every other week with 5-hour sessions), and they are about to wrap up Test of the Smoking Eye.The adventure recommends six players, and we only had five, so I decided to start the characters at 2nd level for the first adventure.  By the time they finished the first adventure, though, they were already a bit tougher than required for the third adventure, so I totally skipped the second adventure (Drakthar's Way).  They are around eleventh-level, now, and usually kicking monster butt.My only caveat (and this is a general warning, not a SCAP-specific warning) is to be very careful about allowing non-core elements in the game for pre-published adventures built from core only (this advice is apt for the Gamemastery modules and adventure paths as well).  We have a warforged warblade (or whatever that class is called from Book of Nine Swords) as well as a sorcerer lobbing rays of dizziness left and right.  I ended up banning ray of dizziness, it became so bad, and the player of the warforged voluntarily gave up one of his powers because it was just too powerful.Sure, a DM could put in a lot of extra work to make the monsters use this stuff, too, but for me the big advantage of using pre-published stuff is to reduce my prep time, not make it worse.We're all having fun, though!Later,Atavar</blockquote>
