[QUOTE="random user, post: 1590068, member: 16581"] I've talked to some people, and they seem to place great emphasis on balancing all encounters so that they challenge the party. Time is precious, so why waste it on an easy encounter? But on the other hand, some people think it's unrealistic that all the encounters a party has are just barely beatable (ie properly balanced). And sometimes it's fun just to whale on monsters (though of course as with everything else moderation is key... you can't do that too often). What are other people's thoughts on this? In your opinion, Is it ok to have some encounters where the party basically steamrolls and uses only a small amount of resources, or should all those battles be skipped and only major encounters be rolled out? As with everything, most people's answers will probably lie upon a spectrum rather than just being at one end or the other. I'm curious where along that spectrum most people lie. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
