[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5771350, member: 20323"] When they're up against just standard monsters and the objective is "kill all monsters" then yes the PCs would have an advantage. However that's a pretty rare scenario in my games. Also I routinely run the party through encounters 2-3 levels above them, use waves of monsters, hazards & dangerous terrain, nasty tactics, and creative combat goals. I use AngryDM's 3-phase bosses and I always tweak solos & usually eltes to make them more dangerous. I use minions with HP roughly equal to 1/4 or 1/5 a standard monster, and often give them a strength in numbers trait/power, so groups of minions can be pretty scary. Finally I got rid of monster healing, weakened, and insubstantial; I replace these with unique abilities based on monster type as needed. All of that added up makes fights maybe a bit more dangerous than core 4e, and definitely a heck of a lot more interesting. [/QUOTE]
