[QUOTE="lkj, post: 7211260, member: 18646"] I'm running a campaign for 17th level characters (have come all the way from first). It's a blast. Players are very much into their characters. And I haven't had any trouble keeping them challenged. They are plenty frightened by the situations they are in. I should note that I don't bother with CR at this level, other than as a very rough guideline to get started. Just too many variables depending on the characters and magic items, etc. So I suspect a lot of the bigger encounters they wade into would be in the 'deadly' range. I also don't ever use complete 'solo' fights. The big baddies are always accompanied by healthy bands of powerful minions. If I did do a true solo fight, I'd probably makes some adjustments. But honestly, with 5e, those adjustments are easy. That's my experience. I haven't read this thread, but I have no doubt others have had different ones. AD [/QUOTE]
