[QUOTE="SirAntoine, post: 6515571, member: 6731904"] No. The challenge of an encounter is supposed to vary widely. Some encounters will be near-100% chance for the PC's to win, others will even be a 100% chance win because they are just incidental encounters with wandering monsters or when the monsters are injured or badly outnumbered, or much lower level of course. Other encounters will be more difficult, and a 50/50 encounter is about as difficult as the game will get ever if the PC's are going to have a fair chance to win. The final boss fight might be a 50/50 encounter, but even then, 80/20, or 75/25, or 67/33, all give the PC's a very significant chance of losing. If they can run away, that's one thing, but I am talking about the chances of total death or capture. Many encounters should be run away from at the get-go, but the monsters the PC's are expected to fight should be balanced or "tailored" to their power and level. [/QUOTE]
