Balancing Encounters

Sun 03 Sep 2023, 21:54

Any advice on how to guess how many foes a party can realistically take on? Let's say the party encounters wolves (wargs) ... how many of them? Number of players + 1? Something depending on Attribute level?
The examples in the scenarios do not seem to follow an inner logic?

So Harlath wrote an article on it, posted in Discord:

I haven't tried it myself so I can't vouch for it specifically, but his other stuff that I've seen is pretty good so I'd trust it. You can always simulate a couple of battles to see if it works to your satisfaction.

As a rule of thumbs I‘d just take a look at the endurance ratings of adversaries and compare them with the heroes. But be careful with some monsters like trolls. Some special abilities allow to take more damage or come back at full endurance.

Strange, the link should have taken you directly to the post that had the link.
Communque, I'm glad you got it in the end, buona fortuna :)
