Okay so homebrew bullshit aside, I'm a fairly new DM and I have no experience in requesting levels for my campaigns. I had my partner help me with the first campaign I made and just used that same starting level for another one I'm going to do. That being said, I'm planning on doing a one-shot based on Minecraft illager raids and I'm at a loss. Currently I have about 37 enemy NPCs created, five of which are animals, and I have no idea how to power-scale them so the one-shot feels fair. The current level I have for the PCs is 7 but I got conflicting information as to whether or not that is a good idea for a one-shot like this, if it even ends up being a one-shot. So I ask, what level should my players be for a one-shot based on Minecraft villager raids?
