Reading the Encounters (Minor Spoilers, potentially)


Age of Ashes

Silver Crusade

When reading an encounter in the book they're listed as, for an example, Moderate 1. What I was curious about was if that is intended to be a moderate encounter for a level 1 group, would a level 2 group then treat the same encounter as one level less severe in difficulty?

For context, my undersized party is moving around the Citadel in a rather odd way and they've hit level 2, but are about to encounter the bugbear, spider swarms, and Alak with the Imps.

So for the bugbear encounter - it's listed as Low 1, would I want to award xp as if it were Trivial instead of Low, since the party is level 2? Or should I adjust the encounter to make it Low difficulty for a level 2 party?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Yes the number is the level of the group. So Low 1 means low threat for a lvl 1 group.

If you want it to be the same relative difficulty then yes adjust it, otherwise it would be a trivial fight since your pcs are lvl 2 already.
