kintire said:Scaling the opposition against the PCs is a basic concern for any game, and the fact that it is so easy in level based systems is one of the main arguments for that style.
A quick question for regular d20 DM:
do you scale the usual opposition or do you just increase the number ?
To take a better example:
do you use level 1 guard with an exceptionnal level 3 captain when your PC are low level (1-3), then increase guard to level 5 and captain to level 10 when your PCs are increasing in power (ie level 7-10)
or
do you keep the level of the town guard consistent whatever the level of your PCs ?
To make it really clear: this is a real question and not a trap, troll or whatever.
Thx,
