[QUOTE="drjones, post: 6379345, member: 62944"] I ran three sessions so far with a group that is unsteady, 3 players, 4 players and 6 players. For 6 I just added one or two monsters to some encounters (every other one, where they fit really). But I kept the nothic as-is mostly but I played it as a lurker mostly intent on getting the PCs to trigger a trap. With 3 pcs I changed nothing, and they got beat up but did fine. It probably helped that they were level 3 by then. I would be a little wary of just increasing mob sizes by half. If you roll init for the monsters as one, you will need to fudge their actions otherwise if they get the drop on the players 6 goblins focus firing on one PC instead of 4 goblins could easily mean a dead character. Bounded accuracy makes the math different in ways I don't think we have a great handle on yet. Be ready to fudge during the game (more monsters run in, some choose to flee early etc.) based on how things go. I'd also be wary of defense/hp upgrades, that sounds like it would make fights longer but not necessarily more fun. Maybe boost hp but not defense, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
