[QUOTE="aco175, post: 6983663, member: 27385"] For new players I would hand wave travel and get to the action. I would save the planning and description on the main encounters. For encounter of less than 4 PCs focus on only one or two monsters rather than having one per PC. The rules in the DMG have information on making encounters per PC. I think that if you have 2 monsters you take the xp for both and multiply that by 1.5 to get the encounter xp. Adding the daily xp per character you can get the total xp for the group per day. It is a bit confusing so I tend to take it easier on 1st and 2nd level parties and not worry so much as the levels go up. 2 goblins at first level would be ok, 3 would be a tough fight. a 1st level PC still could outright kill a goblin, but factors on who goes first and if the goblin hits the PCs make low level PC kills more random than at higher levels. at 3rd level the same 3 PCs could take on 6 goblins and be an average to hard encounter.
