I have been playing with the encounter builder, and using some results in little one shots my groups have done. I find, as many others have said, using the difficulty scaler is sketchy, as SOOO many non-computable things can affect the actual encounter, the almighty dice gods being one. That said, I wondered if I could find another use for it and behold, I used it to keep a ready list of the monsters I put in a one shot dungeon. Number of foes was handwritten on the sheet I had, but a click away were the vitals (stats and attacks) and I found it really made running the dungeon much easier. I was wondering if anyone else has used ant other tools for a unique twist on the intent?
