How is the offensive CR formula coming?

While I basically agree with you, and that is the method I prefer (descriptive), a Prescriptive method is easier, faster, and good enough for a lot of people.

I think it is a mistake to think DB, DBZ, DBGT, etc. have consistent and logical power scaling. It was a tv show for entertainment purposes first and foremost.

You can, and perhaps should, design a monster that way and use math. The math just let you assign a CR. I assign a CR (and use math) not for my personal use and benefit, but so I can share with others and we have a common language that provides value. That, to me, is the heart of D&D.

Glad to hear it, I was doing the same thing, though a little different in the specifics. Your system seems slightly more abstract than what I was working on, but that was where I was hoping to get. Yet another reason I made the correct decision to build off the broad shoulders of UK!

Yes, I am sure there is over Gargantuan, what I am less sure is smaller than Tiny. However, given his previous work I am guessing yes, but he may not see the need.

I'm not UK, but I am 99% sure the answer is YES!

not saying you or correct or not, just be aware that CR 12 =/= Lvl 20. IIRC, CR 12 id more like level 20 in UK's system. That said, I think level 20 / CR 12 is to low

No No, not as the current game is positioned. IMO, an everyman should be represented by roleplay prior to level 1. So you could play as an everyman (level 0 or similar) and then chose your class when you have gained enough experience.

Sure. I am also exclusively playing/DMing 2014 5e (well at least our homebrew version of it). So my comments are not about caring about 2024 D&D. They are about making your 2014 game better, if that is a thing that interest you. The 2024 combat encounter guidelines (and monsters for that...

FYI. Here is the 2014 XP budget for 6 lvl 15 PCs: 38,400 (between CR 21 & 22) Here is the 2024 XP budget for 6 lvl 15 PCs: 46,800 (between CR 22 & 23) So for 2024, the encounter should be slightly more challenging than in 2014, not less as you seemed to suggest. Just thought you might want to...

Thank you for including the prompt.

Interesting, I don't feel those adjectives describe the images you posted, nor the 2024 art in general, very well at all. But I it is clear we are just talking about a matter of opinion and taste. No need to keep discussing.

The encounter building rules in the 2024 DMG work just fine in with 2014 characters and monsters. In fact, IMO (and others) they work better than to 2014 guidelines whether you are using 2014 or 2024 material or a mix of both. And just to be clear, I would assume a D&D 5e tag includes...

Yes, here are the relevant passafes: and Not a lot to go on!

Here you go: Arcadia issue #3

First - thank you so much for getting back to me. I had completely forgotten about this. Also, just as a reminder, here are your quotes I was responding to: I understand not liking art or art direction. Art is completely subjective and I have no issue with that part of this. So I wasn't...

OK. As of 2024 there is no scout subclass either. So I kind of feel it is obvious we are still using the 2014 version for that.
