I really like that XP are correlated directly to player level--that is a very cool feature that makes a ton of sense to me. However, I am having a little trouble with some of the math as I plan to run a group with more than (4) adventurers.
For example, I'm looking at the ROOM OF RUINED REPOSE on Page 13. It is rated as "Severe," meaning the budget for the room is [120 XP] for an assumed party of (4). The room in question contains (6) Skeleton Guards, which are 0-Level. Assuming a party of 1st-level characters, each Skeleton Guard is worth [30 XP]--they are Party's Level -1. But [30 XP] times (6) Skeleton Guards is a total of [180 XP].
I understand that the encounters won't match the XP budget exactly. However, [180 XP] is actually higher than the "Extreme" budget. So, is the room mislabeled or am I just understanding this incorrectly? Understanding this math and the related tables will help me adjust the encounter appropriately. Please feel free to point out the error of my ways. :)
Thanks so much!
