[QUOTE="Winterfell, post: 6685750, member: 6789022"] This Sunday I am going to be running a party with 3 extra players who are going to be starting out at Lvl 1. The remaining 3-4 members are levels 6-7. The three level ones are new to 5e but played a while back in other editions. The challenges in front of the 6-7's are more than deadly to the new level ones but I also don't want to dumb down an entire Sunday just to show these level 1 around. Any suggestions on the type of adventure to run? (Quick back ground on the current party: In the Shadowfell and not making too many friends. Have pissed off a large section of the undead Evernight citizens and a couple powerful members of the community, but have the ability to portal back into the material plain.) I was thinking potentially the following: 1) Have them pull back through their portal into the material plain and have the higher levels run an escort type mission were they have to protect the level 1 crew for a yet to be determined reason. 2) Pull out an inter-city battle where I can throw in larger undead mobs while feeding the lower levels zombies and skeletons and occasionally having to have a member or two the main party come to protect the level 1's. I know I am just shotgunning for a response, but have any of you had to run a game with a significant amount of people below your main party's level? House rule is not to start new characters above level one (they just get accelerated xp). As always thank you for any insight you can provide. [/QUOTE]
