Starting level for Red Hand of Doom?

[Davelozzi]

Thanks for the continued feedback. As for ability scores, we're not using point buy, we're using 4d6 drop lowest, arrange as desired.

Hi,

Started the campaign last Monday. Like Mark CMG, I used the extra encounter on the WotC website, bumping it up to three hobgoblin veterans plus ogre as suggested for 5th level characters. There are five 5th level PCs currently with one more to join a bit later: fighter, barbarian, cleric, druid and rogue 1/sorceror 4. They dealt with the extra encounter easily but the Marauder Attack was much more challenging. I think 5 x 5th level looks about right so far.

Cheers

PS there's some stuff about the campaign including an account of Session #1 on my livejournal.

When we played we started at 6th with a Cleric, Fighter, Sorcerer and Rogue, and found the early fights (with 1 or 2 exceptions) fairly easy.

Although to be fair, it was the DMs first time at DMing a major adventure, so maybe he wasn't playing all of the opponents as cunningly as a seasoned DM might have...
