[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 7970355, member: 57494"] Way back in the days of 3E, I surprised my players with class-leveled monsters once. They had stolen an item unknowingly from the BBEG, and said evil guy hired a mercenary goblin group to go after them. They had fought a bit of goblins before, and we're used to them going down in one hit. Part 1) the party spots two goblins popping out of the brush and firing arrows. The party ranger shoots them both once, they fall down and play dead, and the group runs past into the goblin encampment. Part 2) The goblins in the encampment mobilize and engage the party. The party realizes they're not going down in one hit. Part 3) The first two goblins are rogues, and flank with sneak attacks. It wasn't designed to be a super hard fight, but since the players underestimated the goblins, they got taken out quick. I ended up taking away some magic items that I had overloaded them with, and the goblin group became one of their hated enemies for a while till they got their items back. [/QUOTE]
