Thanks all for very useful advice and information. The online npc generator makes things a lot simpler actually. I'm not opposed to tinkering with stats and stuff like that, I just don't want to be creating lots of npcs from scratch for every meeting.
Regarding the difficulties with difficulty (hrm hrm), is it mainly just when one uses npc enemies, or does it extend to using MM monsters as well? 'cause I can easily take monsters from the MM's and reflavor them to fit my urban setting...
I am familiar with the 3.5 system, I get how it works for the most part, I am just trying to avoid spending hours flipping through 5 different manuals. Much of my confusion is due to the fact that I started creating this campaign about 6 months ago, then we all got busy for a long time and now we're just deciding to get it going. So I've forgotten a lot of what I knew... Where do I find the rules for adding levels onto enemies again?
We're starting at level 12 because we'd been playing 4e from 1-11 and figured we might as well pick up at the same level we left off at. I figure we've earned some increased badassery
I think for the first encounter I will use NPCs, probably a few knifers and maybe a sorcerer or something. I want to keep the first one easier because we'll be relearning 3.5 and there will only be 3 PCs initially.
