So I'm running Dustgrave with 6 players and I've heard for Combat 1A some people tend to make ||Brutus an ULTRA|| but I'm wondering what exact templates do people tend to use for him? Is it just that or more? It's my first time GMing, but not my first time playing. I struggle to gauge how my players will do lol. All of them except for 1 have played up to LL8 before.

how many players do you have?
the time i had players fight Brutus, i only had 3 of them and it was a decently challenging fight as written, but they were rather new so i could see it not being challenging enough

oh wow I fully missed that in the post
it's ok lol
you should definitely make him an ultra for 6 players

I have like 3 variants of the enemy depending on how well the group does in previous waves
2 of which being ULTRAs
So if they end up steamrolling ill bring out the Juiced One

So the time approaches and i realize
Should I make it just an ULTRA or should I keep the other templates like Commander and Veteran? Im thinking Ultra Commander would work

the book recommends an Elite Industrial Veteran Commander for 5 players, so i think switching out Elite for Ultra and leaving the other templates (Vet Commander Industrial) seems reasonable for 6 players
i might also add an extra NPC to each of the earlier waves on top of the 5-player recommendations tbh
