[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 679995, member: 326"] Hi Anubis mate! :) I hope you have been keeping well? Feel as free to point them out as I will to easily debunk them mate! :) You understand when you make these sweeping statements in upper case format it just makes the eventual smackdown that much sweeter. :p Okay lets assume a party of four 1st-level PCs with default array ability scores (15; 14; 13; 12; 10; 8). Individual PC CR 1 + 1.2 for ability scores = CR 2.2 (CR 2) CR 2 = EL 5 Four PCs = EL +4 (PEL = EL-4) Therefore PEL = 5 The bugbear represents a moderate encounter (EL +/-0). The PCs should win easily. Try not to forget that the PC Encounter Level is modified the same as Monster EL. Not at all. It is both necessary and hardly overtly pedantic given its almost never going to have a negligable effect. At all non-permanent effects and magic items as I specified. Did you miss the sidebar pointed out in the document I gave you!? All this is already explained I fail to see where your confusion stems from!? :confused: Personally I wouldn't count them. Simply because they are part of your wealth allowance. No I'm not double taxing stuff - you are! Ability Scores are pertinent. IT WAS YOU WHO INITIALLY POINTED THIS OUT TO ME! :D Actually the total opposite is true. If you assign EXP by CR, THEN you are screwing them out of EXP. eg. Are you trying to say 109th-level characters should gain no EXP from defeating 100th-level opponents even though we know the difference in power is negligable!? The Core Rules don't give anywhere near an accurate outline of mixed opponents. I appreciate your help mate - though I think I have everything under control. Keep trying to break the system though; its always possible I have missed something. Judging by your above arguments - its all good. What problem with normal races? [/QUOTE]
