[QUOTE="adam_antio, post: 6613817, member: 82861"] Hi guys! I don't know if there's another thread about the same topic, so sorry if there is one already. We rebooted our campaign, and now we have a 6 men party of level 5 (I never had such such a large and powerful group before with next!). Checking the encounter difficulty table, I was astonished I had 6,600 worth of xps before any encounter would be considered mortal! Now, I was thinking about drows, and I thought about throwing to the party a Drider (CR 6) with a bunch of standard CR 1/4 drows. However, when calculating the xp thresholds... it seems that just bringing a couple of them doubles the xp budget for the drider, and that throws everything off scale! So what I'm asking for is: should those guidelines be treated more liberally when taking into account monsters with such a different CR? Or one lone Drider is really far less dangerous than one with two weakling drows? [/QUOTE]
