I guess it doesn’t help that 2 of the 3 players have probably 4 or 5 years experience on me.So far we have had 1 session.  The first half was a few small fights leading up eventually to the Mu Spore (taken from bestiary 2).  It is CR 20, but was a rather worthy opponent. Even though nearly everyone had their full attack each round, the beast lasted about 10 rounds and took down the gunslinger to about ¼ hp. The problem I had with this was that a major part of its attack is to be able to grapple each person every time it hits.  Because every character in the party has an item with freedom of movement on it, or had it cast, I was never able to execute this grapple.The next part of the session was a little bit of role-playing in order to find a Jabberwock (CR 23 also taken from bestiary 2).  Part of the role-playing was finding out they would be facing a Jabberwock and a chance to prepare for the fight. This was definitely a mistake as doing so meant that they were able to take it down in about 3 rounds and taking very little damage themselves.  As far as the characters, each one is very well rounded. The Monk hit for 150 HP one round with his fury of blows attack. He also has a very high touch AC and CMD.  Other then SU or spells I’m not quite sure how to attack him. The Gunslinger is the easiest to hit, but the huge advantage for the particular class is that all attacks within about half the distance are counted as against the touch AC.  Finally the Cleric is possibly the most powerful. Not only is his AC very high, he has multiple 9th level spells that are very difficult to fight against (Astral Projection, Gate, Miracle, and a few others).  I know I sound like I am complaining, but I am genuinely enjoying it so far.  I have just come to a point where there are few monsters left in the bestiary that will challenge them.  The tentative plan for next time is to create from scratch 3 or 4 level 20 characters, and have them fight after a little role-playing. Maybe even for the competition of who gets to run a small city.Thanks a ton for your help (and sorry this was a lengthy response)! I am not sure I will continue this campaign after next session, but we will have to see how it goes.</blockquote>
