The party is EL 9, and the enemies are EL 6, so they probably won't be much of a challenge at all, especially since a level 4 Sorcerer is pretty weak (though not as bad as a level 3 Sorcerer--the weakest CR 3 encounter in the entire game)Aeson said:
Very well, in fact. Blood tends to mess up the reception.Bront said:

I don't like using fireballs. It is over used. I took Summon monster III. I thought I would just use a bunch of summoned monsters on them. With a high init. I hope to get a spell or two off before they can hit me. I took combat casting and upped concentration.Bront said:
That's a very good idea, as it gives everyone something to do, and tends for more interesting fights (in my experience)--try adding maybe four level 2 henchman. This is assuming this is just a run of the mill encounter (albeit a potentially interesting one)--if it's a climactic important battle, you'll need a bit more power.Aeson said:
That should work, I think. The four 2nd level minions are another EL 6, so the enemies will not be slaughtered, particularly if they use sound tactics, but the PCs still have a good advantage, so they will come out victorious unless the dice go horribly wrong (especially since the enemies don't seem to have healing, and I'll assume the PCs do--that's a big advantage in this kind of thing)Aeson said:
Bumping up the two main NPCs to level 5 (though admittedly a level 5 sorcerer isn't really strong enough to be a CR 5 challenge) and upping the minions to level 3 will make the encounter enough to give the PCs a true run for their money.
Ok. I'll look at going with that. Thanks.Rystil Arden said:That should work, I think.
