[QUOTE="Belbarid, post: 4437395, member: 28213"] After playing it a bit, I drank the kool-aid and bought the 4th ed Player's Manual, DMG, and Monster Manual with the intention of converting my existing campaign to 4E. Toward that end, I created two encounters to run- one combat, one skills. As I was creating enemies for the combat encounter, I started to run into problems. I wanted the leader to be an 8th level Warlord so, like I always did in #e, I made an 8th level Warlord. It seemed to me, though, that this character would be *far* tougher than the MM's 4th level Human Berzerker with 4 more levels added. The 8th level Warlord would have a lot more exploits and feats that the stock human "monster" would have. Am I approaching this the right way? Should I have added 4 levels to the berzerker and added a Warlord template? That didn't seem to me to make all that great a bad guy, either. Normally I don't get all that worked up over whether or not I'm doing things exactly as WotC intended, but I'd like to get a basis for what I'm doing here. I guess what I'm getting at is whether or not enemies in 4e are meant to be made like PCs are, or if they're deliberately toned down. [/QUOTE]
