[QUOTE="CodeFlayer, post: 8032263, member: 7023926"] I've added a new mode to the program which "flays" a table by visiting every top level table entry one or more times. This mode is intended to evaluate all table elements in a concise format (there is also a long format mode not shown). What follows is the program output of mt01.py for all of the primary encounter sites in the adventure for a party size of 4 (which is fixed). The SPL is the suggested party level for that encounter to be consider of "standard" difficulty. The notion of a standard difficulty for the XGE algorithm is implicit, for the DMG algorithm the target value is mid way between medium and hard and is configurable.
