[QUOTE="7thlvlDM, post: 72724, member: 1081"] [b]Only a flesh golem?[/b] That's nothing, I'm constantly pitting my players against challenge ratings that are off the chart (i.e., no experience listed for their level). It's much more exciting then letting them mow down countless goblins, and the cool thing is, they always survive! Greyhawk campaign two years ago: A party of three 1st level characters go up against Baphomet, demon lord of minotaurs. I only used his 1st edition stats (12 HD I think) against their 3E characters, and one of the PCs was turned into a troll by a troll god trapped in a stone idol, so he could take some punishment. They had Baphomet on the run and by the time they reached 3rd level, and gnome illusionist struck him insane with a prismatic spray cast from a book of infinite spells on one of the lower levels of the Temple of Elemental Evil. They couldn't really touch him, but neither was he a treat (unless you attacked him) because the insanity was permanent. They just had the temple resealed, and moved on... Forgotten Realms/Planescape campaign started this January: Four 1st level characters against a Medusa/lvl 6 sorceress and her Oni body guards. Two of the characters were turned to stone, but they got her down to 3 hit points and she ran away. At 2nd level, they came out victorious against 2 Thayan Golems (CR 7 each, if I remember correctly, and damage reduction +1/10). None of them had a magic weapon, so what did they use? Tanglefoot bags! Their idea caught me completely by surprised but they got both golems down to 0 Dex! -7th [/QUOTE]
