[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6798410, member: 6787650"] The default rules give roughly 5 Medium encounters per day. If you divide XP per adventuring day by the average Medium encounter (halfway between Medium and Hard), 3rd level is the only level which exceeds 6 encounters per day, at 6.4 Mediums per day. Other than that, the low is 12th level with 4.6 encounters per day, and the high is 10th level with 5.8 encounters per day. There is no "6-8 encounters per day" standard unless you stick to Easy encounters.
