[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8220465, member: 59816"] Thanks! That's a useful chart. In my earlier example, in 4e, four 3rd level characters could take on 4x level 3 monsters (or 2x level 3 elite monsters, or 1x level 3 solo monster) and almost-always win (while using a reasonable amount of resources). This chart says that in 5e, they can take on 1x CR2 (or 2x CR1's; 4x CR 1/2s; 8x CR 1/4s, etc) Both of these examples are simplified, easy encounters. I guess it's about the same, but it requires a chart. Maybe that's my problem! Back in 4e days I could do it in my head. I'd now have to use that chart for the same effect. (I mean, usually I just wing it without really knowing what I'm doing.) I don't mean to edition-war at all. (I love 5e, generally better than I liked 4e; there's just a few things that I miss...)
