[QUOTE="rounser, post: 3512782, member: 1106"] Funny you should mention that, because I've been thinking a lot recently about scaling. Next campaign I want to try scaling with NPC Designer. e.g. The kobold caves the PCs ignored for 10 levels they now come to mop up have been taken over by one of the key villains in the meantime which the PCs have also not "kept down" enough, and they've now got an elite squad and drow slavemasters. Or, that ancient wilderness shrine which the PCs didn't investigate first time around with a few traps at 2nd level has been invaded by cultists who have upgraded the traps and actually summoned the demon bound to it when they drop by later on. See where this is going? It's potentially a way to have your status quo cake and eat it, but I haven't tested it out yet, so it's still theory. This is all adventure and campaign-arc focused stuff; worldbuilding need not apply. It's always going to get in the way of doing other more productive things with that time. [/QUOTE]
