Some intelligent min/maxing of an NPC, combined with some clever tactics and tailored items would give your encounters the sort of added value that makes people want to buy your stuff.I'm thinking of your Sapphire Dragon + cohort adventure as a sort of template. That was a nasty encounter, and meshed the NPC, his cohort, and the lair very well. Getting all that together as one package is worth a buck or two, a dozen such encounters is easily worth buying a $5 pdf.Some other ideas on creating a cool high level sorcerer would be the same. Really crafting a great spell list and complementing it with the right items and feats to make a solid character is an art. It'd be worth doing.And if you make such encounters, I have a PBeM game I could playtest them in for you. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> PS</blockquote>
