Let me repeat a quote: "Your own experience as a Narrator should be granted greater weight than the following set of guidelines."

So if you think that's a good idea, then yes. I mean, you called it a boss food trollkin and put it at the end of the level...

But like Robin said a bit later, if that doesn't match world or story continuity, don't do it!

And heck, if you like writing down numbers, you can probably do it for your campaign. I wasn't able to do it for my campaign, and I know I can't do it for yours.

But don't write them down too far in advance, or they will be wrong.

Really? Not "Best knight in all of Britain?"

At the risk of beating a dead horse, the problem is when you write "Best knight in all of Britain 10W3" and then a player manages to end up at 10W4.
