This is meant as a complement to this thread.
I also GM RotRL for a party of six adventurers
Galstak, Shoanti bard/barbarian
Kravex, half-orc paladin of Iomedae
Harmattan, human druid/wizard/mystic theurge
Drek'Thar, human warlock
Dair Caldrin, halfling rogue/cleric of Desna.
If you are one of my players, read no further!
As I've come back to D&D after a lengthy absence, I had to "relarn" the system. RotRL allowed me to experiment with the many options found in the various splatbooks and third-party products I had access to. Thus, along with increasing the number of opponents and the critters' HP to compensate for my large (and quite capable) contingent of PCs, I used some outside options to "spice up" the adventures.
In Burnt Offerings:
Lyrie was more of an archaeologist, a Wizard 3/Archivist 2
Nualia had the BoVD feat Vile Martial Strike
Nualia had another ally, a beguiler named Sectrallon, who was Xanesha's spy/agent.
In Skinsaw Murders
There were 18 Skinsaw brothers, either Rogue 1/Cleric 2 or Cleric 1/Rogue 2. The rogues were all Vexing Flankers
Ironbriar was a Rogue 1/Cleric 6/Black Flame Zealot 2 (quite a bit tougher than the original)
Ironbriar had a second-in-command named Kwesir, a Cleric 4/Rogue 2 with both Vexing Flanker and Adaptable Flanker
No, I didn't boost Xanesha. At this point, they are supposed to tackle her next session.
Aside from that
Drek'Thar's nemesis is a beautiful half-elf Swashbuckler/Hexblade, whom he unknowingly got pregnant
Harmattan is being hunted by a Wizard/Warmage because of a book he "borrowed". That book is a kind of Book Of Infinite Spells, inhabited by the spirit of one of Alaznist's best apprentices
Most NPCs have spells and/or magic items from alternate sources.
At this point, I'm looking for more ways to "spice up" the next adventures (we're at the end of Skinsaw). I have thought about
Runeblades from Book Of Experimental Might (Karzoug's personal guard?)
Maybe Eldritch Giants???.
but I'm looking for more.
What additions/alternate options have you used? How have you cranked up the opponents for a strong or numerous party? I need to know!
Well im sure you have seen my post on what im thinking about doing, cause i wont get to run till our other DM is done with his game
