Stick in a patrol of Hellions or Skulls somewhere, and it'll force the mission to that level.
...I forgot what experience means.
At present, in order to limit the level range of a particular mission within an arc, you need to insert either a basic enemy, ally, boss, etc. that caps at a desired level.
If you have a mission full of CoT that is currently ranging from levels 1 to 54, you could easily cap that by inserting a "Defeat a Boss" objective and choosing an enemy from the Circle of Thorns enemy list that caps off at the level that you desire.
great those are both good ideas.
Here is something that might work, for story. what if i put a patrol of hellions set to ally. they would help the heroes right?
But would the follow them? or just patrol around? Is there a way to just make um completely nuetral?
I do like the patrol idea.. Or i guess a single boss would work too.
Patrols just wander the floor they spawn on, independent of the player. If they are allies, they will fight any enemies they encounter. They can be used to insert flavor text, and will speak it when the player comes within range if they are still alive.
with CoT, I'd just make a hostage rescue with the mob that caps the level, and set the surrounding CoTs to do their ritual animation thing the way they always do. You could make this a not necessary for completion objective.

Could i make a single hellion hero ally? that could work with the story. then that hellion would fight to the end if we wanted it to?
Yes, that should work.

Oky.. ive got some ideas for some fun cross over story arcs. But the porb i see is say i want the story to play at say 15, Its hellions and skulls mainly, But then i toss in a CoT mission that is 1-54. Is there a way to make those CoT spawn and play through as exempt down to 14 for everyone that plays it as thats the lvl i wanna balance the arc for?
