There are many challenging encounters in SoZ for a party up to level 14-15, maybe 16. Beyond that there's only the final battle. This mod adds some very tough overland encounters for higher level groups.
So if you have created a great adventuring party and you think there are no more thrills in the SoZ world, grab your swords and wands and head for the north of Sword Coast. You never know what you may find wondering there.
Update: Version 2 is now available, with two epic encounters added.
The new encounters appear from the beginning of the game, mixed with the standard encounters, in the far North regions of the Sword Coast overland map. Since they can be too overpowered for lower level groups, there is always a dialog option to completely avoid them.
There could be objections for the EL shown, it also depends on your teams abilities (for example certain protections can make a big difference).
If there is interest in this mod, I could add more (and tougher) encounters for epic adventuring teams.
Installation is very easy, just extract the zip into your Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\override folder. It will not interfere with anything or cause any other side effects (it would be good though to remove the folder while patching the game).
And if you want to give a good beating to all these villains, try my Prestige Classes (Xydek's PrC pack in the 'Other' section of the Vault)

Loved it! If you have time, you should definatly expand this, and maybe not just with epic encounters. Samarach and Chult could use a bit of variety, too.
