Party Size Scaling

Party Size and Action Economy

The adventure supports 4–7 level-1 PCs. The standard encounter budget is based on four characters. Additional PCs increase the budget, but the XP award remains the listed four-character award.

Threat	4 PCs	5 PCs	6 PCs	7 PCs	Adjustment per Extra PC
Low	60 XP	80 XP	100 XP	120 XP	20 XP
Moderate	80 XP	100 XP	120 XP	140 XP	20 XP
Severe	120 XP	150 XP	180 XP	210 XP	30 XP

For large parties, add enemies, independent devices, or separate objectives. Do not give one boss extra turns under a single stat block unless the extra initiative is represented by a separate hazard or creature.
