Upgrading encounters difficulty

[killbydeath]

Take a close look at the Target Ecounter XP Totals on pg 57 in the DMG. Loosely speaking, because you are running a 4 man party instead of the expected 5 man party - using the encounters for a 5 man party of one level lower *is* roughly equal to what you are suppose to run for a 4 man party of one higher level.

In other words you should be able to run the Adventure path without modifications. The only real issue is the magic treasure will be one level lower than suggested but they will have more of it. I haven't read the adventure path so I don't know how close they follow the Treasure Parcels anyway.

Thanks for the answers!

I'll leave the adventure as it is.

What I did about the parcel is that I remove 2 on the 14 suggested in the adventure. I've just read in the DMG that I need to remove like ''parcel 3'' but should I leave them 13 parcel or 9 like suggested in the DMG?

The adventure is longer than one level, that's why it has more than 10 parcels. Just remove what the DMG says.
