That's interesting! Have you made any record of your experiences? It would be great to have some real-play statistics (including party composition).

Tomedunn's calculations suggest that the table undervalues multiple creatures, unless the party members can reliably deal damage to multiple monsters with single actions.

Without any further feedback from Mike Mearls about this, I'm going to use the 5E DMG's 'Encounter Multipliers' table to adjust CP to allow for groups of monsters, as a start.

Agreed - tomedunn's reply covers that better than I could! It still seems to me that something like this is needed to allow for the action economy. The Challenge Points document does have a paragraph on "Managing the Action Economy", but that just recommends not using monsters with more actions...

Can I ask: do your danger levels (Moderate, Difficult, Dangerous, Deadly) correspond directly to the 5E DMG ones (Easy, Medium, Hard, Deadly), or are they intended to mean something different? Also, the 5E DMG's 'Encounter Multipliers' table leads to some very different outcomes from your CP...

Why not move D&D 4E onto the first pie chart? It's not that far behind Savage Worlds, but has a notable lead over the next system. That way, you'd have all the D&D on one chart, and it would be a bit easier to see the entries on the second chart.

You could make a case for grouping Pathfinder and D&D 3.5E together (since they are essentially the same system), for a total of 40% of games.
