[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7500021, member: 6801845"] There are a lot of variables in play though. I've judged two different groups at the same time. Each were roughly the same level, same options across the board, same number of players. A medium fight for one group would have been a killer fight for the other group. The campaigns were in the same world, but regularly fighting different opponents but I used the same base calculation for each group. Both groups were fun, but one was simply better at tactics and countering what the enemy did. The mix of classes and synergies probably made a difference as well. I'm not sure there's any way to boil it down to a simple equation. Hopefully by the time you get to high level you've got an idea of what your group can handle and whether you increase the default XP budget by 110% or 150% like I ended up doing. EDIT: forgot to add, that it would be nice to have a "how to adjust the threat level for your group" ... but if it doesn't already exist in the DMG (I haven't looked lately) there's many blog posts . Or just ask on this forum. We're full of it. Advice that is. [/QUOTE]
