[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9586049, member: 7044462"] Well, high level D&D has always been wonky and unbalanced. From personal experience, either PCs mop the floor, or they get moped. It's art to make encounter at that levels without making it initiative rocket tag or long grinding slog fest. And to be fair, most adventures, particularly high level ones, suck if you run them out of box. They can't take into account party composition, level of optimization and synergy, magic items etc. I think that every adventure should have intro chapter for inexperienced dm-s that tells them how encounters are built around no magic average single class party and that some tweaking with encounters is necessary depending on above mentioned parameters. Warning- some assembly required so to speak. One thing to note. While 5e adventures might be compatible, feats were optional back in 2014, but are now standard rule again. [/QUOTE]
