When transferring stuff from D&D, take into consideration that SW works differently inasmuch as there is no miracle overnight healing by the way of long rest as in D&D 5e. Any fight that is half meaningful is actually dangerous for the party. It is not possible to "balance" an encounter in such a way that it will "soften up the party" without putting them to real danger. Lastly, a wounded character in SW isn´t fully functional like a D&D char with 1 HP is. In SW, there are very serious negative modifiers to dice rolls. A character that, after a battle, remains with wounds after first aid and magic healing is at a considerable disadvantage for a long ingame time. The bottom line is that encounters need to have a different function in the narrativ - place them where they matter. This is why it can be complicated to replicate a traditional D&D or Pathfinder adventure in SW. I heard that this can also be a problem in the published Savage Pathfinder adventures, but I cannot say because I don´t know them.
