A few easy ways to improve your encounters’ difficulty. Increase Action Economy Through Spells (slots) Add Multiattack (or increase the number of attacks) Increase hit die number or give creatures Max HP for their hit die Give them magic items like weapons, armor, or scrolls (this can then be loot for the PCs) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffb3acc006792d5b0bf5ae/bc6bce10-f201-4994-8102-836523bd58e5/Add%27tl+Dada+Spellcasting.png Blog - Train of The Damned - Give “Dada” - Car 4 - Some Spells & Spell Slots He’s based on traits from different Mages from the D&D Monster Manual, so here is an example of what his spellcasting could look like.

As nearly all (except for “Dada” are undead), this can apply to a lot of the creatures in this adventure’s encounter. BE WARNED: It can add a lot to the GM's plate, so don’t over use.
