About This Tool

This tool assists dungeon masters in designing balanced D&D 5e encounters by computing XP budgets and suggesting feasible monster sets. It accepts inputs such as party_size, average party_level, and a target_difficulty, and can also ingest a set of monsters with CR values. The system translates party strength into XP thresholds, aggregates monster XP, applies a multiplier based on monster count, and yields a difficulty classification (Easy, Medium, Hard, Deadly). It supports templates, random encounter generation within the budget, and export options to streamline planning. The approach prioritizes rule fidelity, speed, and reproducibility, enabling GMs to explore multiple balance scenarios rapidly while staying aligned with official guidelines.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: enter party_size, party_level, and target_difficulty.
  2. Optionally add monsters with CR values or leave empty for auto-generation.
  3. Run calculation to obtain the adjusted XP budget and recommended monster layout.
  4. Review outputs: predicted difficulty, total XP, monster counts per CR, and any alternative sets.
  5. Export or save results to use in planning notes.

Yes. You can adjust party_level or provide custom monsters; the tool recalculates XP budgets and proposes balanced alternatives to maintain intended challenge.
What standards are used for calculations?
Calculations follow D&D 5e encounter guidelines from the DMG, including XP budgets, multiplier adjustments for multiple monsters, and difficulty thresholds.
