I just picked this up today for possible use in a later campaign and read it through. It's a new Forgotten Realms adventure (though it could easily be dropped into any campaign) for 3rd-level characters, and overall it's not a bad module.
However, one thought kept hitting me as I read it through, which was:
If I put a typical party of 6-8 1e 3rd-levels in here they'd get slaughtered, even assuming I took all the feats away from the monsters. The minor stuff they could handle, but the major encouters...deadly!
I think there's been a bit of power creep over time, if 4 3.5e 3rd-levels could reasonably expect to survive this (which they probably could). But I think I'd want a 1e party to be at least 4th level, maybe 5th, before subjecting them to this.
Thoughts, anyone?
