[QUOTE="Markn, post: 4665633, member: 21827"] My experience has been that as the levels get higher, the combats take longer, though only slightly. I'd say the max has been an extra 15 minutes. I would attribute this to two things. First, there seems to be many more conditions flying around that not only takes time to have saves for, but also prevents players/monsters from doing anything or at the very least making them less effective. Second, IMO HP's for monsters seem to go up faster than what PCs are capable of doing for damage. Today, I read the Monster Design article over at WotC and it had a great idea. Turn a monster into a minion once the fight is a forgone conclusion to speed things up. Other posters have mentioned this and I will be trying this out. Sounds like a fantastic idea. PS - Evilbob, congratulations on winning the Internet! It was a well deserved victory! ;) [/QUOTE]
