Should be ok if he survives until level 4 so he can get the heavy armour feat.Yeah I agree. Our group plays pretty optimally in combat. If you watch any of the streamed games like Force Grey or Dice, Camera, Action they are pretty suboptimal in combat and often make it harder than it could be. Lots of splitting the party and spending actions which don't contribute to the usual way of defeating an opponent (ie damaging its hit points). How you design an adventure module to cover all game styles I'm not sure. It certainly looks like they aimed for the lower side of difficulty. Maybe that's the right approach for a general group who either don't build characters particularly optimally or don't play for the quick win during combat.You know, I can't actually remember playing a prewritten module in any edition above 10th level. Have they ever been that challenging or designed for encounter balance? We have played several high level campaigns but by that point its all been DM written stuff which can be as challenging as required.</blockquote>
