[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2251662, member: 31734"] Hmm...I was thinking about this again and I'm starting to see GuardianLurker's point, but from a slightly different point of view. I think most of the fun here will be had from combats between LG and CE, CN and LN, etc. I'm not sure how to reorganize things, but I think starting with CR5 we should change them around. It will work probably not just from the battle metric point of view, but also from a roleplaying and usefulness point of view. As the monsters get into higher CR, more and more of their abilities will only be useful against their real enemies. I'd hate to see LG fight CE only at CR19 or so. Sure, that battle will be kind of fun, but the lower CR battles will be even more interesting because (1) more lurkers out there will appreciate it because a vast majority of people play lower level campaigns, (2) the battles will take more tactics rather than just firing the big guns, and (3) we can start some additional, interesting scenarios. Maybe the cut off point is just as CR5 Neutrals are about to be introduced, then we switch. LG fights CE, CG fights LE, CN fights LN, and NG fights NE. N can (1) take a breather, (2) fight the winner of each battle in each arena (so each arena has a N interspersed), or we can drum up a three-party arena and throw the N right in there at the same time. Or, we can just say that N has done it's party and send the rest home. [/QUOTE]
