[QUOTE="Ylis, post: 1369615, member: 16749"] Actually, being a fan of the game and not the dice, I'd say really screw with them. Don't put a monster in the mix at all. Give them a situation that they have to overcome, where they *could rush in, swords waving, but likely should not. I'd recommend a game of political situation. A complex plot involving the highbrows of society where, if the PCs attack them (or even expose the plot), they will be hunted by waaaaaaaay more guards, soldiers, etc than they could chop through. Make it to where they must use subtlety and try NOT to be noticed. If they are the types that love a fight, it will hurt them more to not be able to fight than any horde of Great Wyrm Red Dragons could think of doing... If you MUST use monsters to exact your revenge, I would say do a home-brew or use something obscure from a book they likely haven't picked up. Demons are always a nice touch. :) Just make sure they're nastier than standard. If it's purely a revenge thing, I wouldn't even bother balancing the things ;) [/QUOTE]
