02-03-05, 12:51 PM I've got some players I want to throw a bunch of stuff at so they can level up (to catch up to the main plot I wrote) so I was wondering, what could I have them face that would have some plot, but involve a lot of combat to help them level up faster?

02-03-05, 04:00 PM I think the first question is, What is your plot? That would help us give you some ideas on what you can put in there at 6th level strength that goes along with it.

I will await your reply.

02-03-05, 04:19 PM Well, they're from another plane, and have been sent to capture a dragon that has the Rage disease...several of them are followers of Shar, and one has the SWM feat so finding a cleric of selune would likely make a good encounter, and the dragon they have to SUBDUE (they were given some equipment for it, but still be HARD), but i want to gain them a bunch of levels to catch them up with my plot. they're predominantly evil.

02-03-05, 04:30 PM interesting. I will post shortly with a few possibilities. it takes me a small bit of time to come up with stuff for evilness. I am so used to dm'ing good guys....

02-04-05, 10:33 AM For evil PC's, a cuotal is always nice foe, can even be a recurring adversary for some time.
There's more then a few paladin orders, if the pc's have done anthing evil enough to gain their wrath.
If they've done some really evil things, a celestial or two might help.
But yeah, a cleric of selune with a cleric/mage or just strait mage of Mystra, both a good bit higher level then the party would cause some nice havoc and give 'em some decent exp.

02-04-05, 11:55 AM Say I wanted to do a group of foes, and not just two far higher, bu a bunch a bit higher...what might a cleric of selune and a mage sent by mystra adventure with/marshal to their side to hit a temple of Shar? (The PCs will be using a hidden Sharan temple as a base)

02-04-05, 01:22 PM Paladin of Tyr/Torm/Ilmater, gets you Lawful, Neutral and chaotic good in the whole lot. Ad a theif, maybe a backup spell chuck, make 'em two or so levels higher and have fun.
My advice, make your Pc's run in fear, nothing humbles evil pricks like getting a riteuos smackdown.

02-04-05, 01:34 PM Heh...that might be fun...forcing the PCs to abandon the temple...which has THEIR WAY BACK in it, and not only do they have to get in, activate the portal, but they have to do it while transporting a subdued (but not dead) dragon with a berserking sickness...
