[QUOTE="Chimera245, post: 4494085, member: 77968"] Well, I was talking mostly about the monster creation stuff, like on pages 174 and 184 of the 4E DMG. There are some charts on p. 184 that basically let you instantaneously stat out any monster you can think up, and run it on the fly. Just pick a level, pick a role, maybe give it a special ability or two, and you're done. That's my favorite part of 4th Edition. No more spending forever crunching numbers inbetween sessions to create new monsters. I want a chart like that for 3rd Edition. I might want to make a level 3 Artillery monster that can shoot Magic Missiles out of its eyes, and pages 184-185 tells me everything I need to do to make it in moments. But I couldn't throw that monster at a group of level 3 characters if those characters were made for 3rd edition. The numbers would be wrong. I want help making a chart like that that's balanced for 3rd Edition's power scale. If someone could even just give me tips on how to classify 3E monsters into the 4E roles, I could go through all the monsters, and see what stats monsters of the same role tend to have each level, and make up the chart that way.
