Looking for some community feedback here because I have no knowledge of coding or how much something like this would be used by the general player base.
How difficult would it be to create an extension that will take a pre-gen encounter (like one in published adventure modules) and have an option to automatically scale it using the same monsters to the specific player group that is currently playing? I know it would need to take into account the number of players and their levels, along with the creatures in the encounter and their XP values according to the DMG. Anyone have a clue how feasible this is with FG's code?
Also, is this something you would like to see as an option? One possible implementation could have another button on the encounter screen which pushes out a "recommended" Auto-Scaled encounter the DM can use or modify as they see fit?
I thought it would be a very handy tool for the DM, would cut back on prep time and help account for last-minute changes to the party makeup for that session/encounter. I also believe this would be a great feature that would really set FG apart from other VTT's. Let me know what y'all think!
