[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4737404, member: 2011"] Well, you did not like my suggestion on mixing encounters up. Here is another suggestion. Often use n+1 and n+2 encounters, but rarely use n or n+3 encounters. The idea is to to challenge the players without having the high risk TPK situation that heavily sucks resources in a single encounter. n encounters are too simple and you've stated that you do not have time for that. n+3 encounters are too hard and by having them, you are forcing your PCs to go through their daily resources including their daily heal resources. The game is designed for multiple encounters of differing difficulty. So, you can still do that, but narrow the difficulty into a range that you feel comfortable with but does not go through many daily resources in a single encounter often. Add to that interesting terrain and interesting monster groupings and it should help. If not, I'm not quite sure what you are looking for. [/QUOTE]
