Message: <blockquote data-quote="Agamon" data-source="post: 4819012" data-attributes="member: 184">So far, my group played the first three levels of Heroic and the the first three levels of Paragon.  This is what I've found (though take it with a grain of salt; the Heroic levels were an adventure I created myself, Paragon was a conversion of Exp. to Castle Ravenloft):The H levels, the PCs were in more danger.  Minions were meaningful, elites were tough, solos were hard.  In the P levels, the party was only in danger the one time they overexerted themselves by doing 7(!) encounters without an extended rest.  Other than that, they pretty much cakewalked everything.  Minions lasted a whole round if lucky, nothing special about elites and Strahd, a L20 solo, didn't even knock out one of the L13 PCs in that very long fight (they even had 3 encounters before the solo fight without an ext. rest).So we're now starting back at L1 with the Scales of War AP.  I'm doing the 3/4 hp/+1/2 lvl dmg mod (something I started at the end of EtCR), so we'll see how that goes.  The first session, the players were overwhelmed by their PCs' fragility.  A kuthrik fight nearly TPKed them.  They weren't used to having even one of them falling unconcious, let alone 3 of them.Overall, though, it's a fun game, and I personally love DMing it.  Prep is phenominal (easy, quick and enjoyable), especially with DDI.  That's probably the single best RPG purchase I think I've ever made (and I'm a grognard from way back).</blockquote>
