[QUOTE="aco175, post: 7413576, member: 27385"] It seems like things can be swingy with the portal in the middle. It sounds like the old save or die spells that could take out a PC with a bad roll and now the fight is one PC short and suddenly overpowered. This also gives more XP to these enemies even if they do not get to take out one of the PCs. I tend to think that the 6th level PCs can take on more than presented if they are good on spells and HP. The 30hp bad guys should be one or two hits each or even taken out with the lighting before they can act. I try to hold some mooks back to make another wave in case the big fight needs more. I also kie to provide ways to access the other areas of the room so the fight does not just allow shooting from afar. Something like paintings on each wall that are portals to linked ones in other areas of the cross. After the surprise the back line takes when a group flanks the, the PCs will get the opportunity to do the same to the BBEG. [/QUOTE]
