Hi all--long time player, first time DM, about to run Dragon Heist. My first question: do I need to adjust for a party of 6? Is this adventure written for a party of 4? I've looked in the DMG but couldn't find anything about how to adjust for party size. Any tips/tricks/keywords to search would be helpful.
I plug the various encounters into Kobold Fight Club for however many players it was designed for. Next, I enter in however many players are at your table and beef the encounters until the amount of experience earned is the same for your party. Named villains and single enemy encounters can be difficult, so make single enemies and anything with a name have the maximum number of hit points possible for their hit dice. Finally, for boss fights, EVERYTHING in the fight has max hit points (that makes it epic).

TIA!
I'm doing it now with a party of seven, which is one more than I usually run for and things seem to be progressing well enough.

Flagwaver, thanks! I didn't know about Kobold Fight Club, and that will be super helpful!
