Hi there,

New dungeon master here! I was planning an encounter for two level 3 characters in which they fight a Wight. Looking at the XP budget the fight seems to land in the incredibly challenging territory. The team is a paladin and a barbarian, so there is not a lot in terms of support for those two. Is this way above their pay grade and should I change the encounter to something a little less; or is there a way I can make this doable for them. I think it would be very satisfying for them to overcome a tough opponent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
