I am play in a campaign with a fairly large group of characters. There's 6 people playing, not including the DM and almost everyone has 2 characters.
We are all level 5, and our stats are fairly high. We use roll 10d10's, add 10 to the roll and pick the best 6. Myself and a few others are more optimizers so we are generally more powerful than the others in the group, but we still like to have everyone participate in encounters.
The members in our party are as followed:
Myself: warforged city brawler barbarian 1/ warlock 4(going clawlock) power attack, beast strike, eldritch claws for feats.
Myself: dragonbrow human Druid 5. Feats: Greenbound summoning, greensinger initiate, extra wildshape.
Person 1: doppelganger +4 LA/fighter 1
Person 1: human rogue 2/ barbarian 3
Person 2: human fighter 4/ sorcerer 1(going sorcerer 6 then swiftblade)
Person 2: human cleric 5
Person 3: human sorcerer 5(using quintessential books)
Person 3: human fighter5(using quintessential fighter for bows)
Person 4: Goliath +1 LA/ barbarian 4
Person 5: half celestial +4 LA/ bard 3
Person 5: human favored soul 5(VoP)
My friend who is only being a DM for his second time, (has played in many campaigns with us) is having trouble scaling encounters and fights against us. With the size and power level of the party, I'm not surprised.
A few random encounters we've faced during the night, my warforged has taken care of because he doesn't sleep. I killed a black bear in 2 hits the first night, and again, killed a brown bear in 2 hits the second night. The third night a Dire Bear comes in, and gets dropped in the first round by 3 people.
Any tips or ideas I can give him to help scale the party encounters up a bit without it being too ridiculous?
All books from 3.5 are allowed, we prefer to stay away from psionics though. If you have any other questions I will try to answer them as best as possible.
