Running the simulation you will get a ranking at which Build is best (ignoring a possible synergy 2 different roles/builds between). Here i suggest using the 75% best choice, bad on the guidelines above:below 50% might be 'Noticeably bad build' and would be used as much(1).The mean of 51% to 100% is 75%, making sure our "General idea of combat"(3) isn't based on 'perfect' Chars(2).   Once you've got the Builds selected, extend the level range and run the party at different levels. I further suggest you neglect Movement. Unless you have a clearly advantageous/Disadvantageous terrain, or the battlefiend is very large, Movement won't make much of a difference (IMO) - This greatly reduces simulation time and complexity.Note: Flanking factors could be added in as a percentage based on the monster to PC ratio. Further: Instead of running 5vs5 combat, i suggest an encounter table with 10-20 different encounters to choose from. (Again im hopeful that the Enworlders will assist, if it needs to be made over many levels). These encounters should vary in monster types and numbers.Note: Since you do not need all the monster stats, when you get to this point, just write which Stats are to be implementet. ->Will reduce implementation time and encounter development time for the helpful souls Last point for now: "What if the monsters focuses a particulaly team member?"Just randomize possible Focus patterns between not focusing and focusing a random member.As for PC AI, just run some simulations and see what Monster types/roles are best or (75% best) to focus and implement according responses. (I.E is it best to kill of controllers or minions first? and in what order)</blockquote>
