[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5984870, member: 29398"] However, one note: do your players and their characters a favour and ignore the recommended PC level range. That thing is nasty! I was a player in a game where we took a 4th-5th level party in there - of a party of 6 only 2 survived. I can't imagine how raw 1st-level types are supposed to do it. If you think that's rough then don't start your game with Hommlet! :) One of the good things about B2 is in fact that it teaches players that their characters can and will die, though in truth one hopes they've been warned of this by you as DM during the roll-up process. Also, in 1e it's not at all unusual to play more than one character at a time; a strategy I highly recommend for that adventure.
