Then you need at the very least to use the proficiency without level optional variant. Out of the box, the game doesn't do uncalibrated encounters without careful thought to balance. But there's more to it than Paizo wants to let on. You might want to read up on the situation with resource-management and time spent between encounters. In short, there is little to no resource-management expected by the default rules, and Paizo isn't telling you how to reinstate it in your game.I've meaning to do a series of posts where I argue several important variant rules are missing from the CRB and the GMG. Until such time, I can unfortunately only suggest you read some of the more critical voices in this very subforum to find out what isn't nearly as easy to accomplish as Paizo wants to let on.</blockquote>
