Hi folks

I am new to Pathfinder in general and am interested in playing P2. I have experience playing lots of AD&D, little D&D5e, Starfinder, Savage Worlds & Genesys/Star Wars.

I will be GMing for a group of 5-6 players. I will be using the "The Fall of Plaguestone" adventure as your test adventure.

Question 1:
I am wanting to adjust the difficulty of the encounters because there will be 5-6 players.

Encounter 1: Mangy Wolves Severe 1
3 mangy wolves (C -1) = 30 XP
1 Caustic Wolf (C +2) = 80 XP

I think I should add 3 more Mangy Wolves (for the character adjustment of 30XP).

Is that correct?

Question 2:
If I was creating an encounter for a 1st level 4 person group, and I wanted it to be a Severe challenge. My XP Budget is 120XP.

I could use the "Sod Hound" Earth Elemental(Bestiary pg. 146), a Creature 3, which on the Core pg. 489 Table 10-2 is a Party Level +3 = 120 XP

or

I could choose 3 Electric Eels (Bestiary pg 142). Each is a Creature 1 which are worth 40XP each. Total Worth 120XP of the encounter, for a party of 4, being 120 XP.

Is that correct?

Thanks for the help.
