Lord Xtheth
First Post
Creatures in my games ALWAYS got make-overs. every single one of them. Be it as little as changing the weapons, to swapping out feats. I did what needed to be done in order to make my games fun. I did this when I was very familiar with 3.5
Now that 4E is out and new I hesitate to fudge numbers. It isn't quite as easy as "Ability X + an additional X HPs makes for a +1 CR" which I found extremely easy to cope with. Now there is actual math involved. How do I know that 100 HPs is worth 50 more XPs? what if +2 to AC will unbalance the combat and lead to a full team wipe?
I actually think it's HARDER to fudge numbers in 4E, but that may change as I get familiar with the game.
