This version uses Fudly's formula for calculating the difficulty, which seems to agree with the 5E DMG. I removed the 'super deadly' threshold, and any changes to the random encounter template. Encounters generated using random encounter template will still have the difficulty calculator available.

Let's face it, there's nothing sexy about math in D&D -- unless it's adding up 10d6 sneak attack damage from a critical hit. However, calculating the difficulty of an encounter for your players is a skill set that all DMs need. A slew of easy encounters or incredibly hard ones will get super old super fast for your players.

Now, the Dungeon Master Guide and Xanathar's Guide to Everything do contain tables and formulas for setting the difficulty and challenge rating when you're building your encounters in Dungeons & Dragons 5e. However, punching the numbers manually is no fun.

So about let's use some digital online tools for calculating D&D 5e encounter difficulty to do the work for us, eh?
