    How much do you know about role playing games?

    In encounter design, what does it mean to calibrate by 'action economy'?

    Answers

    Consider how many effective actions each side has per roundCorrect
    Always ensure a final boss
    Make everyone act at the same time
    Reduce damage by half

    The number of actions (and reactions) per turn greatly influences the actual difficulty: many weak enemies can overcome a lone boss by sheer economy of actions.
