[QUOTE="Harzel, post: 7213694, member: 6857506"] At the risk of derailing my own thread, no, there is no guideline or other statement that says that 6-8 is better than any other number of encounters per adventuring day. That reading of the DMG is much like looking at a weight vs. height chart and concluding that 130 lbs is the ideal weight. To draw the analogy more closely, suppose you read the following:[INDENT][FONT=georgia]Assuming an average build, a woman weighing 130-140 lbs. who is 5'4"-5'6" tall is at a healthy weight. If she is shorter, she should weigh less. If she is taller, a healthy weight for her would be greater. [/FONT][/INDENT] I'm pretty sure that it is not reasonable to represent this as a guideline that women should weigh 130-140 lbs. [/QUOTE]
