    Hi there,

    I really find this extension useful, and I'm grateful with its creator.
    I was using it the other day and I found some errors/bugs with the formulas used to calculate the Difficulty Level:
    1.- Everything starts fine, you select whether to use the party sheet or the combat tracker as a reference.
    2.- Then it automatically calculates the Party XP Threshold which it does perfectly.
    3.- Then the extension analyzes the total number of Monsters/NPCs to choose a correct modifier from the Encounter Multipliers Table. Which is OK.
    4.- In the end, it applies the multiplier to the Encounter's Total XP and it compares it to the Partys XP Threshold to give you a final result.

    The problem is: The extension NEVER takes into consideration the "Party Size" Adjustment to the multiplier.
    The problem with this is, the extension will work perfectly for a party containing 3 - 5 characters. But according to the DMG p83 under "Party Size". This calculations are wrong when having less than 3 players or more than 5 because it doesn't take into consideration the Party Size.

    I'm no programmer or anything but I would strongly suggest to modify the extension's code to account for this.

    Cheers!

    My apologies SirArion. I read your reply on my phone and then forgot all about it. I think your issue was caused by having character sheets on your combat tracker that don't have a level. The extension now ignores allied characters that don't have a level when determining party difficulty (but it still includes them for adjusting the party size multiplier). I'm not happy about ignoring them, but I don't have any idea what xp to add for them.

    whiteTiki: Good catch. I don't think I've ever read the party size adjustment section of the formula. It does that now.

    Thanks Fudly, at least knowing what is causing it lets me work around it. We have a familiar on the Combat Tracker. I will pull it to use the Calculator properly.

    If I wasn't clear, I updated the extension to fix that issue. Redownload it.

    I would guess that there is a problem with one of the token images you have set for a monster in an encounter you're trying to add to the combat tracker, but I have no idea what problem that could be. Does it do that for every encounter or just that one? I assume your fantasy grounds is fully patched?

    You are trying to add a token to an image which doesn't exist. Looks like the encounter is trying to place the Tokens onto a map it can't find. Either the map is misnamed or doesn't exist. Pretty sure that's the problem anyway
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    It appears as though this extension messes with the random encounters (the generate button doesn't appear).
