I had a question for you all, I just got the new Mod and read through it and love it. On June 7th I am having a kick off party and inviting seven freinds to come over and play it. Problem is the books come out that day and I won't have time to research my questions so I'll ask em.
I am planning on having eight players for the mod and I have six characters and two will have to use one of the six. So basically there will be two of the same class, which isn't a big deal. I did note while reading the mod that they don't give any advise for playing with more then five or less then five.
I was wondering how to I adhawk change it so that things are fun. I was just thinking about doubling all of the encounters so that they might be more of a challenge.
What advise do you had for me if I want to change the mod so eight players can have fun but still be challenged?
If you are unshure a lot of people are askin this question maybe ist worth opening a thread for it and offering varaiations for each encounter based on more players like .
Ecounter 1:6 Players - add 3 minions and one sniper
7 Players - add 5 minions and 2 snipers
8 Players - add 5 minions and 3 snipers
Either add/subtract per player your choice of
4 minions (only if their are 7 or more, or 4 or less in case of addition) or 1 creature (not elite or solo)
If your adding or losing 2 players, then you could add/subtract an elite instead
In the case of Solo monsters, add or reduce their HP depending on the ratio of the party. IE if you have 4 players, reduce the HP by 1/5th. If you have 6 players increase the hp by 1/5th.
Least that's my view.
Also, gods willing, there should be an article that shows how KoTS fits into either Forgotten Realms or Eberron. I know the Eberron one is supposed to include 2 more playable characters.
