My campaign just got back from a 2 month long hiatus and now that I've got myself back into the swing of things I need to get back to making Encounters.
I'm running a group of 4 lvl 10 PCs; 1 Paladin, 1 Fighter, 1 Barbarian, and 1 Ranger.
XP Budget according to DMG
Easy: 2400 XP
Medium: 4800 XP
Hard: 7600 XP
Deadly: 11200 XP
They are really good at dishing out damage in quick succession. My numbers from last game put it at an average of 30 damage per PC per turn.
Currently the players are in social intrigue encounters for the next week, but I want to up my ability to handle what they can dish out when combat starts again.
My current access to monsters are:
Monster Manual
Out of the Abyss
In April, Tome of Beasts
If there is any monsters you've found useful on DMs Guild let me know. I haven't bought anything on the site yet.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Combat encounters are my weakest DM skill.
