xp_pool

Returns the total XP (experience points) of all creatures that would make an encounter the specified level of difficulty for a party of the supplied level. This 'pool' can be used by a GM (game master) to "purchase" monsters to identify how many a party is likely to be able to handle given their average level. NOTE: this does not take into account creature-specific abilities or traits so care should be taken if a monster has many such traits that modify its difficulty beyond its experience point value.

The goal of 'dndR' is to provide a suite of Dungeons & Dragons related functions.
This package is meant to be useful both to players and Dungeon Masters (DMs).
All functions currently focus on Fifth Edition (a.k.a. "5e") but once the next edition is published functions will likely be expanded to include any rule changes.
