[QUOTE="77IM, post: 4460013, member: 12377"] These combats will be more challenging, but not impossible. They'll need to use clever tactics, like concentrating heavily on a single foe. I'd consider an even-level fight as "difficult" and assume the party takes an extended rest after every fight (because they've blown through their dailies already). You might want to consider the lack of armor a "hazard" and award bonus XP for it. Approximate how much extra damage the group will take over the course of the fight and compare that to the expected damage output of various traps to figure out how much XP it should be worth. The suggestion to allow the group to find some appropriately disguised armor is a good one. You might let them make Bluff checks to hide chainmail under bulky clothing, too (thus the paladin would only lose a point or two of AC). FWIW, this sounds to me like a really fun scenario. If I were the paladin player I would view it as a challenge, not shortchanging. (Assuming, of course, that in a typical scenario I can use all of my cool tricks just fine, and that this adventure is meant as a fun change of pace.) -- 77IM [/QUOTE]
