Instead of proposing a fresh alternative encounter, the non-AI path now:
- adds MORE of the creatures already present ('Add 2 more Goblin'), computing the
exact count needed and accounting for the 5e encounter multiplier, or
- adds a thematically related stronger creature from the bestiary (shared name
token, level/CR-appropriate) when that reaches the target with fewer bodies.
Only builds a fresh group when the encounter is empty. Apply clones the existing
combatant (works for homebrew/custom too) or pulls from the pool.
Existing creatures are also offered to the AI as candidates so it can likewise
say 'add another goblin'.
New suggestReinforcements() + baseName() in encounter.ts with unit tests.
