You've also said you were advancing us at a faster rate for those sessions.We might not be capable of surviving that number of the kind of encounters you throw at us. But doesn't that kind of reinforce my point about your creatures? Wait a minute aren't you always going on about how "over powered" and more powerful than standard we are?In fact didn't you have a thread devoted to the idea that we were more powerful than the standard party? How does that jive with us being unable to survive a standard number of encounters at a standard CR? Haven't we also suffered what would have been a character death every other session?Surviving the suggested standard encounters (presumably what modules are built around), would seem to be possible to me otherwise everyone else's campaigns would feature everyone being wiped out and that doesn't seem to be the case.The four Werewolf-Barbarian-Ogres should have been roughly a CR 10 a pop (assuming they were based on the Barb-4 Ogres), 4 of them translates out to a CR14 encounter. That fight we only had the 4 of us. To get the XP you came up with you would have had to be speccing us at above CR12. Though it sounds like you were calculating it as if we were all there, even though Six was uninvolved with the fight.We're not leveling faster than "core". We might be leveling faster than we would for the strict CR of the creatures we're fighting, but according to you we couldn't survive fighting stuff that should be an even challenge. Challenges that we should be able to beat 4 encounters worth a session of. Again doesn't that kind of suggest there's something seriously off about the supposed CR of what you're throwing at us?We do have more stuff than normal yes, but a lot of that comes down to handwaving stuff. We're not loaded down with an excess of standard magic items.</blockquote>
