Description

This module adds an Application to aid in building D&D5E combat encounters. Following a similar design to Kobold Fight Club, this module calculates encounter difficulty for your chosen PCs and monsters/NPCs. Encounter prep has never been easier!

• Calculates combat difficulty based on XP thresholds (DMG) for players
• Includes difficulty multipliers for fights against many opponents
• Adjusts difficulty for parties of <3 players, or >5 players.
• Calculates total XP and XP per player.
• Drag-and-drop from compendiums or existing actors.
• Drag-and-drop from builder to canvas.
• Approximates encounter difficulty for friendly monsters or hostile players
  • Hostile player XP set by comparing level to the deadly XP threshold table.
  • Allied monster levels set by comparing XP to the deadly XP threshold table.
