Just curious, did you play 3 or 3.5? If so, how did

Spoiler

the conversion of the Vestige go (without too many spoilers for the folks who haven't played/read the module)? I remember reading it for the first time and thinking it was one of the toughest, most ingenious monsters ever. It scares the hell out of me, and I haven't even played it (in fact, I'd probably be DM if my group ever ran it.

Nice job, Bruce Cordell! The man writes an excellent (extremely tough) adventure.

I ran a 3.0 version of this before 3.5 came out, and I used an advanced variant Caller in Darkness (PsiHB). iirc I had it about CR 26- it way outpowered the party when they fought it, and nearly tpk'ed them.

Hey guys & gals, what level are characters starting the RttToH meant to be? Thanks!

~25.

Oh, sorry. It says "An Adventure for 5th-Level Characters".

As was discussed in the originating thread, that might depend strongly on how the monster conversions were handled.

What? No it doesn't. RttToH recommends a party of about 13th level or so. Where are you getting the idea that it's for 5th level characters?

Oooh, nice.

Or, not, depending on which side of the screen you're on, I guess.

So, you know, start 'em around 14th. 15th isn't bad, either.

Hmm. That's really weird. For some reason I looked at my copy of Speaker of Dreams and quoted it, instead of the RttToH right next to it. They don't even look similar in any way. Eh.

Just goes to show that it's been a while since I last used it for anything.

I would look my DM straight in the eye and yell "BRING IT ON!!!" like Joe from Family Guy.

I play for the fun of it, and it's more fun the more challenging it is!
