[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 3752621, member: 141"] Maybe I've made a mistake with the numbers, but I get a series of OgreNs that seem to be awfully strong. Each is 4 times as strong as its predecessor- it can defeat two of them when they gang up on him. In theory each should be a moderate encounter for an Nth level group. But they look awfully tough. Maybe the exponential rule breaks down for high level brutes? [code] Ogre4: Attack +8, damage 16, AC 19, hp 32 Ogre6: Attack +8, damage 16, AC 24, hp 64 Ogre8: Attack +13, damage 16, AC 24, hp 128 Ogre10: Attack +13, damage 32, AC 29, hp 128 Ogre12: Attack +18, damage 32, AC 29, hp 256 Ogre14: Attack +18, damage 32, AC 34, hp 512 Ogre16: Attack +23, damage 64, AC 34, hp 512 Ogre18: Attack +23, damage 64, AC 39, hp 1024 Ogre20: Attack +28, damage 128, AC 39, hp 1024[/code] Or maybe this is the function of high level magics ([i]dominate monster[/i], etc.). To give the party the power to take on what, according to the exponential law, should be a moderate encounter. [/QUOTE]
