I am not certain of your intent. Do you want short-rest abilities to be more thought of as per encounter? You mention short rests after nearly every encounter so I wondered.I think the reason 1-3 encounters works is simply because at-will characters just play as they always do, at-will. Others can use their abilities more regularly without necessarily worrying about running short before the adventuring day is over.Of course, those limited use abilities tend to be stronger than at-will, so I would recommend reducing them or buffing the at-wills slightly. It might not be necessary, but that would be a concern of mine.Another option if you want fewer encounters per day, is to change short-rest abilities and making them long-rest. Then you really don't have to adjust the challenges of the encounters.Anyway, I think your intent was more to increase the difficulty of the encounters to compensate for fewer per adventuring day. I think you would need to be harsh in the sense of 2 hard and 1 deadly, or 2 deadly per day, if your goal is to reach the suggested XP per adventuring day from the DMG.Personally, as a player I don't want slug-fest encounters all the time. It would get tiresome. If you aren't concerned with the XP guidelines, then maybe an easy, moderate, and a hard might be the daily &quot;norm&quot;, occasionally swap out 2 of the 3 for a deadly or all three for a very deadly?</blockquote>
