[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 5646745, member: 55816"] I DMed the game day, and with four players of low-medium skill they took on the standard for 5 people encounters with just about the right amount of risk. It wasn't supposed to be difficult (just looking at the terrain/monster choices), even so i dropped the defender each battle and the healer once, and so i think it was just about right. In encounters we often do with 4 what the book says is for 5 players, and if we have 5 the dm will up it to '6 people' level. Usually this works about right for us, though sometimes its dangerously close to being too hard. This season is much better challengewise that the phantom brigade where the dm sometimes doubled the monsters just to bring the difficulty up to cakewake. Its all in monster selection, terrain features and players level (skill and class level), some of which the DM can control, some of which WoTC can control, some of which no one can. [/QUOTE]
