I'm planning on using equal level enemies for now, too, until I see what the party can handle.I'm actually scaling a lot of stuff to their level, and this campaign won't have a very "sandbox" feel to it. Instead, I'll more or less scale enemies according to how I see them fit in narratively with the party. That is, I can see making an ogre a solo or elite monster even at level 1, even though the majority won't do things this way. If there's nothing especially dangerous about it (it's just a big creature), then I feel okay making it an elite or solo and just using that, even if the players aren't "high level" yet.I only have one solder planned so far, but he's protecting two artillery, and he has some forced movement that he'll try to use to his advantage (he's near a giant fire pit, rough terrain, ceremonial spikes, etc.). I think it'll prove an interesting challenge to the players.Noted.I kinda felt like this way the case. Like soldiers, I only have one controller planned so far, and it's a solo (though it can summon minions). I probably won't use more than one controller in a fight except in very rare circumstances. I've already given it to them. Honestly, I don't think the players will be all that system-savvy for the most part (only 1 has really played D&D for any length of time), so a little something to bump them up for free doesn't bug me. Plus, enough system-savvy people have talked about it being added for free that it doesn't strike me as a poor idea, so I'm going to go with it for now. Thanks for the advice, though (XP sent your way).</blockquote>
