[QUOTE="Dormouse, post: 6835500, member: 6803974"] The fear of running fewer more interesting and important encounters is that classes who burn out quickly (paladins, wizards, etc) will outperform classes that don't (rogues, fighters, etc.) In my experience, averaging about 3 encounters each adventure in my games, that hasn't actually been a problem. My one advice would be to make sure your adventures don't all follow the same formula. If the wizard knows your adventure is 3 encounters and that the last encounter is always the hardest, then that is a problem because he will just unload in the third encounter. But maybe an adventure has 4 encounters or maybe one adventure the first is the hardest instead of the last.
