[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8778837, member: 2209"] Is your point that class leveled opponents really did not show up in 1e stuff that often? My experiences of modules like the A series and the D series and Temple of Elemental Evil and such is different. [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/176883/A1-Slave-Pits-of-the-Undercity-1e?affiliate_id=17596']A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity[/URL] for example has the following among the encounter charts on page 4: Orcs: The exact composition of any wall guard of orcs will be as follows (roll 1d4): 1 - 2-8 orcs armed with short swords and light crossbows. 2 - 2-12 orcs armed as above and led by a 4th level half-orc fighter. 3 - 2-8 orcs armed with halberds led by a 5th level half-orc fighter and a cleric/assassin (levels 4-5). 4 - 2 half-orc fighters (levels 2-4). a half-orc fighter/thief (levels 1-3 each), and 2 half-orc cleric/fighters (levels 2-5 each). Orcs: When encountered in the ruins, there will be 3-18 orcs gathered around a small fire. There are also chances for the following extra creatures to be present: 10% human slaver (fighter, levels 5-8). 25% ogre, 1-3. 50% half-orc fighter (levels 2-5). 30% half-orc fighter/cleric (levels 4-6/4). In addition to the fire, there will be 0-5 crude shelters constructed around the campsite. Each shelter will contain 1-100 SP. Slavers: These humans will often be found in the ruins, carrying out business with the orcs and half-orcs who dwell there. A band of slavers will have a fighter of 8th or 9th level and 3-10 1st level fighters. There is a 50% chance that a cleric of 6th or 7th level will be present. If no cleric is with the group, there is a 75% chance that a magic-user of 5th or 6th level will accompany the band. In addition to the humans, 1-4 half-orc fighter/thieves (levels 4-6/3-6) will be acting as interpreters. The humans will try to deal with the party first, appealing to them as fellow men. [/QUOTE]
