Ok, here's the deal.
I've got a party of 4 (powerfull) 4th level characters.
I've got an adventure I like to run, but it's for first level characters.
I started reading through the adventure (for more detail: It's 'The buring plague' adventure) and thinking about how to scale it, and ran into several problems:
1. I want to keep the existing sentient creatures, and add class levels.
However, I couldn't find anywhere what the CR is for a CR 1/6 monster with (for instance) 4 levels fighter. Is it CR4? or something different?
2. I want to increase the number of creatures that I can't increase with class levels, instead of just replacing them with creatures that have a higher CR in those instances where the creatures are an integrated part of the adventure. But, how does that scale when you try to increase the CR of an encounter with 8 CR1/4 creatures?
3. I want to keep the EL scaled simmilar to the adventure. however, how high do EL's need to go? I can understand the EL1->EL4. But how much do I increase EL1.5? and EL5?
Since the party level will be increased to 4, do I increase EL1.5->EL6? or to EL4.5?
do I increase EL5->EL9?
If you know of a rules section, a simple reference should be enough. However, every other help is very much appreciated!
