Personally I would say ignore CR . Instead use the XP Threshold Encounter Building system from the DMGpg 82 . The method gives you XP to ' spend ' on the encounter . The amount of XP is determined by player level and how difficult you want the encounter to be . Kobold Fight Club is a great tool for creating encounters , it does all the math for you and can even create random encounters . On KFC the Total XP is the XP that gets shared between the party and the Adjusted XP is used in the XP Threshold Encounter Building system for determining encounter difficulty . <| sep |> Original post by uThisIsAitch in rEarthPornnbspThis crosspost was performed automatically as a part of the ImagesOfNetwork .
