[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 3593513, member: 20805"] My suggestion.. normal critters... ya know, squirrels and stuff. My reasoning is that these sorts of encounters can amplify the unnaturalness of the forest as well as show how nasty the Indomitable Fire template can get. You also don't need a full meat shield to handle these sorts of encounters. Just imagine the group trying to defeat a gaggle of geese that are driven mad and want to run the party out of thier territory :) If you want a slightly higher CR, go for a herd of Javalina {small brutish wild pigs}... this would be good since the Javelina prefer charges and you could have a very dynamic battle scene with pigs charging all over the place. {give em spring attack just to make it more dynamic} IMC I skipped over the incidentals of the village due to time limitations, actually just did a synpsis via email so my group is missing out on the details and depth of the problem :( That is what happens when you only have a 4 hour session each month! Of course, I am also trying to limit PC leveling since I have 7 players... I don't really need them to be 4th level yet! [/QUOTE]
