LMOP with 3 players using 5.5e rules – should I rebalance encounters?
Hi everyone!
I'm planning to run Lost Mine of Phandelver for a party of only 3 players, using the 2024 (5.5e) rules.
Would you recommend using
haluz.org/lmopsite
to rebalance encounters, but keeping the updated 2024 monster stat blocks or would it be better to stick with the original number of enemies and their stats as written in the adventure, considering that PCs are generally more powerful in 5.5e?
Edit: I'd prefer not to add an NPC sidekick to help the party, so I'd like to balance the encounters in a way that keeps things challenging but fair for just 3 players.
Thanks everyone!
