Build an encounter from your party

Assemble creatures, NPCs, and a battle map against the actual group.

Last reviewed

An encounter is assembled rather than written: you pull in creatures and NPCs you already have, and the builder weighs them against the party actually playing.

  1. Open Encounters and create one.
  2. Add combatants from your creatures. Use groups for repeated foes rather than adding eight copies.
  3. Add any NPC who matters to the scene, whether or not they fight.
  4. Confirm the party — the builder judges difficulty against the adventurers currently playing.
  5. Attach a battle map from your Atlas.
  6. Write the read-aloud text, tactics, and what the party gets for winning.
