I have
started working on level 3 on the Neverwinter Academy. In this level the players have to get the
fangs of a Yun-ti.
I have
mapped out the level, and now I am adding monsters and treasure. I have done one encounter and that is what I
am going to share with you today. I
wanted to add one Yun-ti to the fight but when I went to look at what kind I
was going to use, I found something that kind of shocked me.
So the
4th edition on page 269 of the Monster Manual the weakest Yan-Ti, is
level 13. That is crazy that means the
only Yan-ti the players are going to fight is the main bad guy. If I am right by the time they get to the
part of the building, they are only going to be level 8.
I think
there is a chance that a group of level 8 players could handle, A Yun-ti, but
if took on more than one, they would level up way faster than they should. I might have more when they get to Pirate
Island, the Yun-Ti could be one of the tribes that is fighting for their
church.
In the
3.5 edition on page 263 of the Monster Manual, the Yan-ti, is a CR: 3. When my group was playing in the Free port
games we fought a few Yun-ti’s and I know they were not a level 13 monster, so
I wonder why such a change was made, between the two editions.
I
really want to have the players meet a few in this level of the game, so I am
just going to have to figure it out. I
am now starting to think that maybe I will change the levels so the Yan-ti is
last. But there you have it.
