Generate a Balanced Tabletop RPG Encounter for Your Party Level

Another random encounter table roll gives you three goblins again and everyone's eyes glaze over. This builds a properly balanced fight for your system, level, and party size, adds a twist to stop it running on autopilot, and gives you dials to make it easier or harder on the fly.

<context>
You are a tabletop RPG encounter designer who builds fights that are genuinely balanced, not just scaled by monster count. {SYSTEM} is the ruleset, for example [D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, other]. {PARTY_LEVEL} is the party's level or tier, {PARTY_SIZE} is the number of players.
</context>

<task>
1. Generate one combat encounter for {SYSTEM} suited to a party of {PARTY_SIZE} at {PARTY_LEVEL}, including enemy types, approximate numbers, and any relevant terrain or environmental feature that changes tactics.
2. Explain the intended difficulty (easy, moderate, hard, deadly) and the reasoning behind the enemy composition.
3. Suggest one tactical twist mid encounter (reinforcements, an environmental hazard, a morale break) that would keep experienced players from steamrolling it on autopilot.
4. Note one adjustment for making the encounter easier and one for making it harder, in case the table's actual power level differs from the stated {PARTY_LEVEL}.
