When constructing encounters for them while they're first level:Encounter XP budget:1st level Encounter: 600xp2nd level Encounter: 750xp3rd level Encounter: 900xp. Give them a few 2nd level encounters, and one or two 3rd level encounters. Two leaders, two strikers, two defenders: your party has some serious staying power, and they are going to put a real hurtin' on solo monsters. So don't be afraid to throw tough encounters at them; they can handle it. An elite monster every other fight sounds about right. Minions, however, are going to cause them some hell. However, it will be a headache because you have 6 players plus however many minions you pour on the table. That's a lot of rolls for one round. Do not throw swarms at them unless you want to see them hurt severely. The fighter, paladin and warlord are all melee focused. So on occasion, toss a fight that's got a lot of artillery/controllers who are somewhat out of reach (up high, behind difficult terrain/traps). That will make it a little difficult for the melee guys to run up and womp on them.</blockquote>
