xp_cost {dndR} | R Documentation |
Adjust the XP Total by Number of Monsters and Party Size
Description
Encounters are more difficult than the total of the monsters' experience points (XP). Both the number of monsters making attacks and the number of players attacking those creatures can affect the difficulty of an encounter. The Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) accounts for this by providing an XP multiplier for given party sizes and numbers of monsters. This function accepts the unmodified total of the monsters' XP and adjusts this as specified in the DMG without the pain of the tables in that book.
Usage
xp_cost(monster_xp = NULL, monster_count = NULL, party_size = NULL)
Arguments
monster_xp |
(numeric) XP total across all monsters |
monster_count |
(numeric) count for the number of monsters in the encounter |
party_size |
(numeric) value for the number of PCs in the party |
Value
(numeric) value for "realized" XP
Examples
# Calculate the realized XP from the raw XP, number of monsters, and number of PCs
xp_cost(monster_xp = 100, monster_count = 3, party_size = 2)
