Can your party survive this encounter, or not?Grim Tales presented a new system for determining EL that took the guesswork out of Encounter Levels— and it has been improved with the release of this PDF.This material has been revised and expanded from its original appearance in Grim Tales to include a greatly simplified and streamlined system for determining Encounter Level (EL) based on the relative power of opposing forces. The tables originally provided in Grim Tales have given way to a simple (but powerful) mathematical expression for accurately determining EL for any group of creatures, including mixed groups of widely varying CR.</blockquote>
