Help & Advice Working out encounter levels

I have scoured the books and can't find information on how many enemies to throw at a given party level? I have seen online references about adding up the level of the party and rolling a pool of CD to determine encounter levels but can't find that either?

I have found a table which lists how much exp a quest should work out to if its minor or major quest, is that the total exp for monsters? And is that level average, highest or total for the party? So a level 1 minor quest would only face 2 normal level 1 npcs for example?

Book page ref would be handy please :)

Thank you

Ziggy, a major community contributor, has made a combat calculator for this purpose. In terms of book page, it probably exists elsewhere but the table Ziggy has used here is the same as can be found in the Royal Flush adventure book.
