D&D 5e Encounter Calculator

This weighs a Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition encounter against the party, using the 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide tables. Enter how many characters there are and their levels, then up to three groups of monsters by challenge rating, and it returns the party's easy, medium, hard and deadly thresholds, the encounter multiplier for that number of monsters, the adjusted XP and which band the fight lands in. A second mode gives the thresholds and the adventuring day budget on their own. The 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide replaced this system with a different one, and the two are not mixed here.
