[QUOTE="GreyICE, post: 5860192, member: 6684526"] If you read the DMG, it has quite a bit about creating encounters. Page 58 has some encounter types, and sample encounters. For instance, under commander and troops they write: Commander and Troops One commander monster in charge (a controller or soldier, but a lurker or skirmisher could also serve) leads a number of troops. The troops are usually melee focused (brutes and soldiers), but more challenging Commander and Troops encounters can feature some strategic artillery support. They also have some examples, for instance: Hard Example for 8th-level PCs: 1 war troll, 3 trolls, and 2 destrachans. This is much better than laying out specific encounters, and gives some very good advice on how to make cool encounters. They also discuss how to create interesting areas and terrain. Overall, I think that section should stay pretty much exactly the same in 5E. It's completely brilliant. [/QUOTE]
