Scaling down KotS

[Clawhound]

I suggest running two characters each. You learn a whole lot that way.

What about beads? Or should I just make some crazyness up?

It's all craziness. Go for it!

Attached is an Excel-file I'm working on for scaling H1's encounters. I have found, that there are a few encounters where the calculated XP from encounter monsters do not always match the total XP as indicated in the adventure's encounter-title. Hope it's self-explanetory.

WOW Where's the attachment ??? Seems I cannot attach the file (not as XLS nor as ZIP)...

At last...attachment attached...

Very cool...your spreadsheet makes sense.

However, by a lot of playtest accounts, A3 is a difficult encounter that can end in a TPK with even 5 characters. When plugging in 3 characters, it's marked as 'EVEN', which I think probably would be extremely hard.

I think I read somewhere that at first level, 1 character = 100 xp of monsters. I'm not sure how it scales with level, however, as I don't think that in 4E a 2nd level character = 2x 1st level characters.

I am pretty sure that 1 PC = 100 XP makes sense, considering that 10 Encounters should equal 1 level.

So you could figure out how much XP needed to go from one level to the next, take that XP and divide it into 10 and that should give you how much XP each character should get per encounter and tada, you now have how much each encounter should be worth roughly.
