[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 4504874, member: 67338"] In KotS (Limited spoiler...but not really) [Spoiler]there is an encounter that is done in waves, and basicly they did it as 2 encounters but ran it togather[/spoiler] I would count the Solo as 4 (Not 5) party members of the PC level (I assume he is 1 or 2 higher, if more maybe ad hock some more) PCs. So it will look like this : 5 PCs 9th or 10th (a guess and just an example) level Adult green Dragon Level 12 Solo (+4 pcs) SO we will count as 9 10th level PCs Hard budget: 5,000 xp Level 9 Encounter (XP 4,950) 1 orc chieftain (level 8 elite brute) 14 orc warriors (level 9 minion) 2 orc Bloodrager (Level 7 Elite Brute) 1 dire boar (level 6 brute) 2 Angel of Valor [grumpsh] (level 8 Soldier) 2 ogre skirmishers (level 8 skirmisher) (600 xp per player) Just 5 pcs level 10 Hard budget: 3,000 xp Dragon 3,500 xp if it is bloodied before turning (2,000 xp) (700 xp per player (or if bloodied first 400xp)) Make sure to spread the minnons out so one AoE doesn't wipe them, and have the Solo have an Ace up his sleave, in the example I would have Kobold minnons hiding and jump out as the dragon turns... all and all that would be 1300 xp for (2) encounter(s) [/QUOTE]
