Dungeon Master SECRETs: Diversify Your D&D Encounter Difficulty
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- If your D&D players always know what to expect, then the sessions will get boring. Your job, as the DM, is to provide enough variety in the encounters to ensure the players never quite know what to expect.
This will include not only changing the nature of the encounters, but also mixing up the difficulty. Let's look at some guidelines for how you can mix up your D&D encounter difficulty.
If you want to get the Dungeon Master's Guide for yourself, you can get a PDF and/or a softcover reprint from DriveThruRPG... www.drivethrur...
Or, if you want a used copy, you can pick one up from Noble Knight Games... www.nobleknigh...

More good tips from the best DMG ever written.
I have a tendency to make my encounters medium to hard, so thanks for reminding me that a few easier encounters matter too.
Remember difficulty exists outside simply total xp of monsters. An assault on a heavily defended castle is much different than a fight in a sparse woodland. Monster synergy is also something to consider. Some monsters just work well together.
To stop players from getting worn out between hard encounters, I've always given them other aspects of the game to lean on. I find "set piece" encounters with low-no threat a bit of a waste of time at the table.
