Discussion:When shall we go Into the depths of Hell?

Summerscythe[edit]
I'm DMing a rather high powered campaign that will eventually lead my party into the hell designed in the Feindish Codex II. There party consists of a half-giant fighter, a half-dragon ranger and a human soulknife. My fighter is a very smart player, in a previous campaign when the parties average level was around 11, he lead them into a formian hive and killed the queen with no really bad injuries. This is a new campaign so everyone is level one again. I'm wondering what level would be a good point for them to enter hell and go through it. Any thoughts?

Look at the challenge ratings for the devils you plan on using, and use that as a baseline. I would consider starting them abit higher than 1st level though (6th?), then you can get them into hell quicker, and 1st level play can be quite ?boring?, for lack of cool abilities (I'm a 1st level fighter. I get 1 bonus feat. Woo!). You might want to offset the huge amount of lawful good stuff with demons (maybe a blood war campaign?). Devils may get dry after a while... one DM I was gaming with at one point used something along the lines of 6 dragons in quick succession (also two of them where killed by his NPC assassin with death attack, which made the rest of the party look weak!) and I certaily didn't want to see another.
