[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 4128650, member: 1210"] Well, remember that the standard encounter in 3e assumes a party of four; if you have six, you need to increase the number of opponents of the same CR to have the same effective difficulty for the party. Regarding the [i]dragon breath[/i] spell: I assume it's the sleep gas that is a problem? You might try using a few more creatures immune to sleep (constructs, undead, oozes, etc). Even though it doesn't spell it out, I would rule that the sleep effect is mind-affecting. Regarding the dual wand wielder, a creature with decent fire resistance (in the 20 range) would prolly do okay against him- it would still take some damage, so he wouldn't be useless, but [i]each[/i] of the [i]fireballs[/i] would be lessened, and the monster would have a lot more durability. SR might be pretty worthwhile here, too; with the right SR you would allow him to keep doing damage to the monster without simply overwhelming it. [/QUOTE]
