Shadows of the Demon Lord and the Weird Wizard

[ruemere]

Good advice, but we translated the PCs from Fantasy AGE. They are level 4. I didn't want to start a new campaign. My campaign is already grim dark. That is why I made the change to SotDL. Fantasy AGE is too action hero for my taste.

I see. In that case all I can say is that you should try to scale stuff horizontally (more mobs) rather than vertically (mobs being more dangerous) as a single higher level roll can break a character.
