As far as i can tell, keeping opponents within 2 or 3 refresh of your gaming level seems to make sense, esp. for npc mortal casters. Two -9 pc wizards aren't taking down a -18 npc wizard, but they can probably face a -11 wizard and his -7 underling, or three -6 wizards.
The last combat i ran was 5 -9 refresh characters, 45 levels total, facing a -20 wizard, a -14 monster, and two -5 wizards (-44 refresh)... but the -20 guy could have toasted them if he went full throttle (he had other parts to play). I mean, refinement on specialization and focus items can really put a wizard in a different class.
