Arabel Dwarven Embassy, Upper Brewery (4-6): The boss, the Drunk Satyr, has 71 HP, which is a bit too much, I recommend only 50. He has 6 AB, which is a good amount, however he knows weapon specialization unarmed so his punches really hurt. Also, he has armor that has 5/+1 DR on it. I suggest removing the DR armor, and removing the WS unarmed feat. He also casts a level 4 War Cry, which is a little funky. The archers also have pretty high AB of 6-8 when flanking, and combined with their 1d6 sneak attacks, the dazes+sleeps of the petal fairies, you end up going through some pretty heavy damage from them. I suggest reducing their AB by 2 as well.
Drunk Satyr
- Lowered Creature level
- Lowered HP
- Lowered Con
- Lowered AB
- Unarmed specialization does not affect Creature Weapons. Removed anyhow.
- Removed DR
- Removed -2 CR for a bump to experience.
Archers
- No Change
Added more variety to the encounter so should not always get the Archers and/or Petals

Moonsea Ride, Wyrm Cave (4-6): The fire elementals spawned have 8 AB each. I am not sure of their damage, because they're the vanilla spawns. However they do have on hit fire, and pretty hefty attacks. I am not too sure, but I think that the encounters might have been intended to have the custom fire elemental resrefs. The boss is perfectly fine.
There are two fire elements. One is standard the other custom.
- Changed the Minimum Creatures from 2 to 1. That should allow for greater flexibility for the encounter system to adjust to party size and to make it less deadly for solo types.
Helmland Fire Elemental
- Lowered Elemental class levels
- Reduced APR from
- Lowered AC
- Lowered con
- Lowered hp
- Lowered AB

Sewers spawn large packs of spiders at once. None of the spawns themselves were very rough, but when they web you up in a small corridor you get surrounded and have no where to run. These would be good in the big open areas of the sewers but spawning in the small corridors are rough. The spawn in question was: 3 giant spiders, 2 skitterlings, 1 sword spider, 1 ettercap
Would you check CARES please @Puffy ?

Ghosts and their Negative blast are a bit rough when encountered in groups of more than one. They heal eachother and damage the party at the same time. And the damage is often double digits. Facing 3, you might get hit for 45 hp of damage easy in one round. And they can do it again their next attack.
There are two types of Ghost that can do this. Ghost1 is lame and doesn't get to sit with the cool Ghosts.....
Ghost2
- Lowered Undead level
- Monster Ability Negative Pulse
-
- Lowered uses from 5 to 2
-
- Lowered damage (based on Creature HD)
-
- Lowered DC to save for 1/2 damage (based on creature HD)
- Lowered HP
Ghost3
- Lowered Undead level
- Monster Ability: Negative Pulse
-
- Lowered uses from 5 to 2

- Lowered damage (based on Creature HD)
-
- Lowered DC to save for 1/2 damage (based on creature HD)

- +2 CR for XP and increase challenge due to spell like abilities.

ZQA: Redwoods, Haunted Castle Exterior (7-10): Overall, this quest is really fun. Enemies are well-balanced, (though put in more ghouls, those are juicy!) aside from the boss. Blackguard and Apostle of the Demon Prince has 200 HP, 24 AC, 22/17 AB, CR 20 with 10 levels of fighter and 10 levels of undead, and when you smack it everyone gets hit by NEB which is a bit a lot much.

Work/rl has slowed down again so I am able to be much more active. Please use this post again for suggested monster tweaks, quests and random spawns.
Cheers.

Dragon Trail: Mining Tunnels Area
Character is level 4 -
I suspect a high level was in the area fore you and that spawned when he/she was around but did not encounter them. They do not despawn when said high level leaves.
