Need help building a campaign

[Colt]

I'm going to be DM'ing my first game sometime here soon, and I'm having trouble working out some kinks in my campaign. The whole game will be loosely based on the Scarlet Monastery instance from World of Warcraft, for those of you that don't play, here's a general overview The Monastery

I'll probable have them run both Library and Graveyard Wings in order to get the scarlet key which opens the Armory and the Cathedral. I was wondering if someone could help me work out stats for the monks, mages and warriors, that would be really nice... this will be a level 3 game, so i'm guessing most guys will be fairly weak, thus requiring the enemies to be around level 3... I'm really new to this, so any advise would be very welcome. I'm also having trouble with statting out some of the bosses, especially Herod and Whitemane...

Ok, I'm up to the challenge. I'll do a basic write-up of the 'minions' and see if it's what you're looking for. Be posting again soon. It'll be a little limited (level 3 max), but should work out.

It's not so bad with the bosses. Just pretend you were making a character of that level (thought Herod and Whitemane should likely be a little higher level, maybe 4). For example, from the library wing (I think, could be armory), the houndmaster is one of the first mid-bosses. He has a couple of hounds with him, so this lends itself to a druid or ranger (animal companion type). Since the ranger won't have a companion at level 3, we'll go the druid route (and he uses martial weapons, so we'll add in a couple of NPC classes to get him up to speed).

So we end up with something like this, at a CR 3, so it 'should' be a good challenge:

BAB/Grapple: +1/+3

Challenge Rating: - (animal companion)

Notes: Wisdom is only 12 because he only has the 2 levels in druid, so a higher wisdom wasn't really necessary. If he were higher level, this would likely change. Unless he's surprised, he'll likely have his buffs up and running, and Scruffy will have magic fang. If this is too easy, adding another level of druid would help both the Houndmaster and Scruffy.

Is this sort of what you're looking for?

That's Wonderful! Thanks a lot. I guess this would almost be better off in the Homebrew section, but i've always thought it would be cool to have a WoW D20... Scarlet Monastery is a great start. Hopefully I'll be able to start working on some of the trash mobs (unnamed enemies) some time soon.

The only thing that's hard about Herod is that he is a fighter, but he has some spells too... That and I can't decide who the final boss should be, the Whitemane/Mograin fight or the Herod fight...

You realize there already IS a Warcraft D20 system out there? Other than that, it can't be too hard to design the minions, using wizards, monks, paladins, clerics and warriors of the appropriate levels (about 1-3).

Edit: Also, that's not a campaign, that's a dungeon

Except they have to run it 6 times to get the right drop.

Now it's a campaign.
