[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 3117488, member: 336"] I've been running a group in my campaign for almost 6 years. Their stats were generated rolling 4d6, rerolling 1's and dropping the lowest. In point buy terms one of the players has 47 points the highest has 52. The group is made up of 7 players. The only thing I've done to keep the game challenging is have all monsters have max hit points and I've added about 50% more monsters per encounter. I've mostly had to increase the number of creatures due to the size of the party, not the "higher" abilities. The group is powerful, but I have not found that their power level is unmanageable. You also have control over ability boosting items so I'd recommend you gauge those before handing them out. I'd say about 70% of their encounters are at their CR, about 20% are at CR+1 and about 10% at CR+2 and over. There are times when even the CR+1 encounters can cause problems. CR is not an exact science so you are going to have to make adjustments whether you are playing a 50 point buy or a 28 point buy game. [/QUOTE]
