Advancement and Scaling of Challenges

[Angelalex242]

Quite so. There are certain places in Middle Earth where the proper response of a beginning character is 'we're not ready for that yet.'

There are places in Middle Earth where even a character with 100 XP and 150 AP isn't ready for yet.

A 'maxed out' character should feel fairly confident in going anywhere, even Moria. Run from the Balrog, but you can take anything else down there.
