Message: <blockquote data-quote="JollyDoc" data-source="post: 1177370" data-attributes="member: 9546">Thanks NWK.  As Gfunk mentioned, Jared was a key player in this encounter, and I wanted to portray him accurately.As a side note, when the party began this adventure (which is designed for 4 6th level characters), they were effectively a 7th level party, consisting of six members.  Bear in mind, not all of them were 7th level, but that was average party level.  So, using the Scaling the Adventure tips in the adventure, I boosted the encounters one notch.  There was some discussion as to wheter or not increasing the dragon's age category from juvenile to young was the deciding factor in this battle, and it's a point I'm giving serious thought to, since I have already scaled the remainder of the adventure as well.  I don't want to obliterate the party, obviously, but I also want them to be adequately challenged.  As of right now, Pez and Gardrid are 8th level.  Wathros and Tilly are 7th level (again.  They each lost a level as a result of Raise Dead, but subsequently recovered enough experience to regain it).  Rusty is also 7th level,and Raphael is 5th (but ECL 6th due to being an Aasimar).  I would appreciate any insights on this dilemma, especially from any of you familiar with the adventure and the coming encounters (do not, of course, reveal any information or spoilers please).</blockquote>
