[QUOTE="WBruce, post: 8006678, member: 6701967"] I sure did. There are a number of reasons why I don't want to do that beyond the scope of this discussion. More than to fix this particular encounter I am looking into the future plans of my group/campaign x the amount time to prepare x Fantasy Grounds Learning Curve + FG homebrew content. We will play a number of official adventures , but none of them will probably match encounter level x party level, so I will have to adjust all of them. I have limited time and FG demands an extra step or two. The party is almost lvl 6 and we will play a short homebrewed adventure followed by The Yawning Portal and Lost Mine of Phandelver in the sequence. So as you can see there is a lot of adjustments to make. If you ask me 5e designers completely lost sight of this issue. The scaling CR system from 4E should never be replaced ( although almost everything else should), to be able to take an official adventure and scale it to your like easily seems a huge marketing potential more than anything else, more than any fun/game thing. To not be able to easily do so is a major flaw. Come here and see how people tackle this is a good way to either change my own way with adjustments or keep doing it.
