However I wanted him to be a Powerful Villain so I rolled his own stats The same way the PCs do. And Now I am having trouble Figuring out what level My party Should Fight him, and Whether to buy him magical Equipment and the like. Or if should I tone him down a bit. My Party consists of Three Players: A Competent LG Conjuration Focused Specalist 3/Master Specalist 2 with Scribe Scroll->Improved Intiative and Abrubt Jaunt alternate class features. But he will be focusing on Buffing/Debuffing A CN Choker (-Quickness ) Psychic Warrior 2 Focusing on Grappling and Reach. Also wields a Spike Chain And A new (Read Inexperienced) player who will probably play some archery based Character Now my boss http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=143091 A Feral 9HD Huge Advanced Winter Wolf HP120. AC+24 [10 base, +9 (+1Fullplate Barding) +1 Dex, -2 Size +6 Natural] Str 28//+9 Fort +13 Dex 12//+1 Reflex +7 Con 24//+7 Will +7 Int 14//+2 Wis 18//+4 Cha 14//+2 I rolled 16, 14, 14, 14, 14, 12 I kid you not, just 4d6 take away the lowest 6 times Feats 1st Improved Initiative, 3rd Unknown, 6th Improved Nat Attack Bite, 9th Unknown. Skills don't matter much for this Boss. Special abilities Of note Fast Healing 4. Cold Immunity, Vulnerability to fire. Improved Grab With Claws Pounce, Two Rake Attempts when Pouncing or grappling, Dark Vision 90ft Reach 10Ft. Now for the ridiculous Attack Routine Bite +16, 3d6 + 1d6 Cold+5, and a Trip attempt +17 ClawX2 +16, 2d8+9 And a Free Grapple at +26 yes +26 RakeX2 +16, 2d8+5. No grapple. So any suggestions what level I should sick him on my players. and whether Or not give him the armor above and/or other equipment Thank You for your responses.

How optimised are they? Will you have fodder with this boss and how are you intending the party to encounter him/her? On a cursory look, the Winter Wolf is generally CR5 with half the hitpoints. I'd look at when they are 7th-8th Level. PM or SBLOCK if you do not wish this to be a spoiler

The players are all level 5 but I want them two Level Up once or twice before Hand. The Conjurer Worships Trentmonk so yeah he is optimized. But he is going to be Buffing/ Debuffing as I stated earlier so the others can shine. Tier 1 The Choker is Powerful but kinda silly Tier 2 The Optimized player is going to help the new one but he still wants to be an archer so he will probably be tier two as well. he is located in a large dungeon complex that he is Trapped at the bottom of. He now has a lot of Worgs and other creatures in the dungeon but when the adventurers get to him he doesn't allow them to help him on his behalf. ( and when The Wolf needs their help they slip away) so no other monsters helping him. The players will have one or two easyish encounters before hand.
