You come up with a list of diverse challenges a level 1 party should face, and I'll provide a level 1 party of all casters. We'll throw them at encounters until the party cannot continue any longer and see how they do.  I imagine we could go with:[sblock]Sorcerer 1:Spells known (5/day): Sleep, Magic MissileSorcerer 2:Spells known (5/day): Mage Armor, Magic MissileSorcerer 3: Spells known (5/day): Mage Armor, GreaseStats:STR: 8 DEX: 14 CON: 14 INT: 12 WIS: 10 CHA: 16Saves: FORT: +4, REF: +2, Will: +0HP: 6AC: 16Initiative: +6Familiars:RatsFeats:Improved InitiativeEschew MaterialsEquipment: Light Crossbow Bolts2 healing potions eachCloistered Cleric, Domains: Luck, TravelSpells: Bless, Protection from Evil, Entropic ShieldSTR: 8 DEX: 14 CON: 14 INT: 12 WIS: 16 CHA: 10Saves: FORT: +4, REF: +2, Will: +0HP: 8AC: 17Initiative: +6Feats:Improved InitiativeExtend SpellEquipment: Light Crossbow BoltsStudded Leather ArmorHeavy Wooden Shield[/sblock]Now, for simplicity's sake, we could go to the d20 SRD and use the Monster Filter to generate a long list of monsters that would be appropriate for a level 1 party. I favor the alphabetical approach, which gives us:Small Air ElementalSmall Animated ObjectSmall CamelDarkmantleLemureRiding DogDuergar DwarfSmall Earth ElementalDrowSmall Fire ElementalShrieker FungusGhoulI could go on down the list but this seems to be an adequate series of challenges. What do you think? I think the party would be able to advance to level two myself.</blockquote>
