Let's see what Shade thinks. I get out of my depth with these epic critters.

I don't use them myself either, but CR is mostly guesswork anyway unless you use a critter a lot in play.

Somehow I doubt there are that many campaigns were multiple encounters with Draedan are appropriate. Or survivable.

Hehe. But we're talking about the Tree of Wailing Souls here, which would be a pretty neat capstone encounter for a campaign ending in the upper teens. Or maybe just a pre-BBEG encounter.

Well a Challenge Rating of 21-22 feels in the right ballpark.

The Tree is a bit trickier to have as a multiple encountered, since it's supposed to be unique. At least Draedans exist in numbers.

How about CR 22?

I would not kick up a fuss about that.

Let's go with that and see if Shade objects.

Treasure sounds like a lot from the description. How do you like triple standard? I'd be willing to go down to double.

The flavour text suggests the loot's mostly magic items, suggesting something like.

Treasure: 50% coins, standard goods, double items

I might be talked around to triple items, if you tried hard enough.

It seems to have an affinity for magic items, to be sure, but the detritus of centuries' worth of adventurers ought to be lying around in its roots. How about double coins, double goods, triple items?

Very well. It's no big deal to me.

Although much of the loose stuff might just roll down the hill, or be gathered up by the zombie slaves of a local necromancer... (Zombies don't have souls, so the tree may just ignore them.)
