[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7845982, member: 6919838"] Well the example covered a four level gap and I have to say that unless you are meaning "steer" and "balanced" to mean "secretly cover" it's just not the same at 1st-5th down parties. CR 2 ogres are fine opponents for a party of CR 5s with a new CR1 but even one strike's average damage drops the level 1, even a 13 hp con 16 fighter. If it's more like a 7-8 hp wizard, instant death is in the range of non-crit possible. But as the case was put, the odds that the hero of such a fight us the levrl 1 fighter or other gets practically non-existent barring exceptional setups which makes the hero for three in a row not at all anything outside of fluke. Once you get the lower out of first tier, which means level 9 pcs with level 5 "new guy" its certainly changed a lot to be manageable. It doesnt take gang hammers to stop 1st level folks in their tracks when the enemy is suitable for 5th level groups. Sometimes it's just average. [/QUOTE]
