[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 6661884, member: 48965"] What is the point of these quotes? The second one explicitly says use character level as a basis... Since as a group we agreed we wanted a grittier more dangerous campaign I decided the natural hazards in the Far North would have DC's in the Medium to Very Hard range... from there I rolled a die to determine what the weather condition and DC/severity would be during that day of adventuring with a skew towards Medium in the beginning, since we started in the southernmost lands of the Far North and that is where the more mild (in a relative sense) weather would be. so 1d8... 1-5 Medium/6-7 Hard/8 Very Hard... My distribution of the DC's doesn't take into consideration character level, but instead the location of the characters in the Far North. Likewise, I didn't "know" whether the Dragon was going to be a difficult encounter or not. For one particular character, because he acted rashly and against the advice of his companions it was deadly... for the rest it was a pretty easy encounter where a bargain was struck and they ended up being mules for certain items the dragon wanted to sneak into the Empire's nearest outpost and in return they received their lives and reasonable compensation... Edit: Though I'm not certain they couldn't have killed the dragon if they had all decided to attack... So now the argument has switched from an adventure that isn't tailored to specific levels... to an adventure that doesn't mention the word level at all... Also, you do realize there were six of these adventures published, right? So do I now need 7? If so, how about "Death, Frost, Doom" by James Raggi... again not written for a specific level. Anyways if that doesn't suffice, I'm not going to go scouring the internet for adventures that can accommodate any level as you continuously raise the bar... I've proven that not all adventures are tailored to level. [/QUOTE]
