Example: Knights of the land tried to take down a young red dragon. You are free to scale down anything you want (so long as you make it clear that the scaled down beast is less impressive).
You also aren't limited to just the low level stuff. You can also do a monster that has a lot of health, but doesnt hit hard at all. Goblins, which was my first adventure, and we still hate the suckers. When i know its going to be a short campaign (maybe a month or two), I start them off at level 6 and they level pretty much every meeting, because we all know the cool stuff doesnt come until later.Ģ) You can have them take down a small bandit ring, or clear out a temple of vermin.
My players all have some experience and I start them off at lvl 3 when we start new games. 1) Unless I have a game with new players, I never start them off at lvl 1.
