[QUOTE="Subumloc, post: 4623954, member: 59562"] I'm a DM and I'm running a converted Red hand of Doom; the party started at 8th level and now is 10th. Worst encounter so far: a Solo Fen Hydra, with a slight level adjustment. The hydra in nothing more than a huge HP bucket, with four attacks per round that do little damage and nothing else. This, coupled with a streak of bad rolls from the strikers (a warlock and a ranger) resulted in what is so far the only real "grind" encounter IME. Best Encounter: in the last sessions, every encounter has been a real blast, because the party has begun to understand how to interact with the environment to gain the uper hand in fights, and to really cooperate. For example, they have recently won a hard fight with an elite NPC thanks to a well placed Wall of Fire combined with a bull rush from the ranger and a slow effect from the warlock. More in general, I love when the players start improvising (like climbing up a wall and jumping down opponents or the like). [/QUOTE]
