6-8 encounters over one
adventuring day
 Medium encounter with a group of three to six monsters.
I need around 200 XP worth of creatures – the XP award.
ature could be worth ~50 XP. x4 of those is 200 XP. Easy. Skeletons 50 XP ea.
say I don’t want that many monsters. No more than five or six creatures. A
encounter with three to six creatures has a budget of 200 XP. Or add some
ader-type. Something slightly more powerful worth 100 XP and x4 – worth
25 XP each – fill out the remaining 100 XP. Perfect.

Easy: ~25% of a days fights

Medium: ~50% of a days fights
rd: ~25% - of a days fights - Always be meaningful and plot oriented
Deadly: 0
Or ~5-6 Hard “Group” fights and 2 Deadly "Group" fight in a day
