Using the pattern
Rather obviously, Finale Levels can be created with the same design possibilities as Levels. However, to a certain extent, some Adventures can also be seen Finale Levels of Campaigns. An example of this is "Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits", which is the last Adventure in the "Queen of the Demonweb Pits" supermodule[1].
One typical difference between Finale Levels and other Levels is that they typically have more Challenging Gameplay. This to highlight the Tension in the finale, as well as potentially being the last piece of gameplay in the game as a whole.
