It shoots up to about 16 ecounters by level 6. After about level 12, it falls and stabilizes to about 8 encounters per level.Now that we understand the math, we just use these expectations as a ballpark. We level based on story and between gaming sessions. If we want to savor a level we stretch it out for a few more encounters. If we are getting impatient, we jump ahead. Still, it is nice know what the official expectations are. Simply counting encounters is more convenient (and because its difficulty is assessed after the fact, more accurate) than any other system of leveling.</blockquote>
