Hi All Well last night I GM'd my first Pathfinder game and I hit a bit of a problem (not that the players noticed). The party consists of 6 characters. 1) Witch lvl 2
All 1st level except the 2 mentioned and the setting is a huge swamp/bayou. They are exploring a ruin thats half submerged in the foul stinking rotting vegetation and they have encountered 2 lizardmen with their riding beast giant frogs. Effectively each of these is a 400xp CR1 monster. I have calculated that the APL of the party as follows: Average Party Level: 1.33
So APL = 2 I wanted to create a hard challenge for their first encounter so that adds another 2 which if im reading the rules correctly means I should get a challenge rating of 4 for the encounter giving me 1200xp to spend. The above 4 monsters were effectively 1600xp. The party mopped the floor with them and only took a total of 4 hps damage. Am I doing this right as it felt waaaaayyy to easy ? |
