We have an Ogre in the party and we're trying to get his HD correct. The template is taken from the Advanced Race Guide: Other Races. Our question here is, as an Ogre, does he get the 4d8 listed from normal Ogres, or is it different?
So, the books are nice enough to tell you that challenges for a group of 6 or higher should be 1 APL higher. My question is basically this: is there a point where this extra "challenge" simply isn't enough to keep up with the number of players involved?
