Question on luring monster

[pejsaboy]

I'm not saying make the spawns tougher. They would retain their current CR, only have fewer creatures. I'll use the spider spawn in the Sielwood as an example. Gilli [level 10] normally spawns 2 small spiders, 1 or 2 giant spiders, a phase, and dire spider on top of the ettercap. So thats a total of 6 or 7 creatures. I don't know what the appropriate replacements would be, but just to explain the idea I had, the original spawn would change from 6 or 7 varied spiders, to maybe 2 or 3 Dire spiders and the ettercap.

I would much rather face 10 normal spiders than 3 dire spiders.  The dire spiders hurt and hit easily, while the others dont.

 actualy jil, having more lower thing hitting you at the same time will make more damage than let say one tougher oponant. If you take for instant 6 lvl 7 ogres ( dont know if that exist) vs on lvl 10 ogre, the 6 will do more damage by hitting you at the same time

Layo is partybased -> Spawns are large

Spawns become small -> Solo'ing becomes easier
