[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 2528919, member: 6584"] Sounds cool! My take would be to pick a theme for the encounters. Evil outsiders would seem a classic choice... But what's going to be fun/easy/challenging is likely to be somewhat dependant on the party composition... Any idea what that's likely to be? IME, one problem you are likely to see with characters not used to this level is a lack of awareness of their own abilities. For an initial encounter, I'd run something pretty easy - just to give them a chance to guage what they can do. Possibly pit them against a sizable group of somewhat weaker creatures. If you go with outsiders, then for the first encounter I'd pick one of the 'melee brute' type... possibly level them up a little. Herzous or Vrocks, perhaps. Some nasty abilities, but nothing too OTT. Possibly use some evil humanoids instead. Serve as a good warm up? One idea I've toyed with is having a party try and stop a rampaging Nightcrawler. Unfortunately your game may be too high level for that - they could probably fry the 'default' version quite quickly... [/QUOTE]
