In the RotRL Anniversary Edition it states in book 3 that the party should be close to (if not at) level 11 by the end. The 4th book states the party should reach level 11 during (or just after) the raid.
My question is, based on experience, which level will make it challenging, but not exceedingly difficult, for the party?
**Party is 15 point-buy. Composition is a glaive wielding Cleric of Shelyn (Domains: Defense & Luck), a Divination Wizard (Summoning & crafting), a Ranged Inquisitor of Erastil (Domain: Feather including size large cat), and longsword and board paladin of Iomedae. No one has leadership, normal wealth by level set by AP**
Thanks in advance!
Evidence suggests answer is Level 10...
My party ran it at level 10, they were a bit behind because they skipped some stuff and because of some deaths. They did have 5 people, everything was fine, except for the dragon, lots of failed frightful presence saves meant only a couple of them left to fight the dragon.
I am a GM for a campaign that is at the Fortress of the Stone Giants. we are on the verge of discovering Jorgenfist but the party is only at 10th level.
We got into this predicament with my mistake of doing cohort XP incorrectly and by having the party talk their way out of a majority of the Boss Fights for the past couple of chapters. They get enough information to guess at the progress of the story and then head out to the next adventure.
The group is made up of 5-6 PCs, 4 of which are big damage dealers. The one Cohort and a leveled-up Shalelu have helped the party get through most of the harder encounters. It has not felt like the party is under level until Teraktinus tore up the dwarven fighter in 2 rounds.
I'm adding some story-based encounters on the Stoval Plateau that go beyond the "giants and bears" that is provided in the book.
