[Tegel Manor] Castles & Crusade Help
I have the original Tegel Manor and my friends want to experience old school dungeon. I plan to use Castle and Crusades. What type of party mix should I use for best results.ThanksRob Conley

The standard 4, fighter, thief, mage, cleric. After that I think fighter types would be best to double up on. A second Cleric/healer type wouldn't hurt either.

Are you kidding me?! Two clerics if possible. The standard for work well, but I'd definitely have 2 clerics if at all possible........................................OmoteFPQ- - - - - - - - - - - - -...

I was ambivelant about the second cleric because if they have a fair number of healing potions they can get through with one. Of course if the cleric dies they will be sure to follow.

I forgot to include levels, what levels should be going through?ThanksRob

I assume you want them to have a good chance of survival, so 5th if there are 5 or 6 characters. 6th, maybe even seventh for a strict party of 4.If you have something like 8 characters 4th level can...

I think you should approach Tegel differently than other dungeons when it comes to game balance.Tegel is not a dungeon which the party should be balanced to clear out. Tegel is a Haunted House. In...

Thats true, but the general 3E consumer expects encounters to be fair and balanced. Meaning they can be defeated. Most will hate and tear apart a module where "running" is a necessary tactic.Plus the...

Since we are talking about C&C, a party of six fourth level PCs would fare reasonably well, if they were willing to run from opponents. If you only have four people, 5th to 6th is probably the...

A party of 1st level PCs can survive Tegel Manor. Or, at least long enough to get them powerful enough to do more than "wussy fights." Otherwise, I'd say: start it at 4th if you'd rather not "level...

One note for OOP editions which use the GP to XP rule: compared to TSR modules, Tegel Manor is remarkably light on loot. There is a lot, but not as much as in a Gygaxian...

As Melan said, it depends on your players a bit. 4th level or so if they are smart enough to run, I would say 6th if they aren't. If they try to "clear" the mansion it won't be a very long campaign.It...

Remember... place the portraits of the family well. Those portraits do stuff... and depending on where you place them they can have significant impact in play.

MINOR SPOILERS FOLLOW, BEWARE!Rob: indeed! Take note of the location of the portraits. As you shall see, only a certain number of them have been keyed to the map; the rest, you have to place yourself....
