[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9051020, member: 57383"] Out of curiosity, I plugged the numbers for the standard 5E [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/gamemastering/monsters-foes/monsters-by-type/elementals/genies/genie-efreeti']Efreeti[/URL][/B] into the [B][URL='https://5e.tools/crcalculator.html#1,17,40,10,false,Large,16,24,false,0,false,2,']CR Calculator[/URL][/B] and it came out to CR 9 with No Resistances, CR 14 with Resistances and CR 14 with Immunities, but if it has "Flies and can deal damage at range" checked that becomes CR 10 with No Resistances. Said Efreeti is Challenge 11, so I feel justified in givng the Firelord a Resistances/Immunities of None in the [b][URL='https://5e.tools/crcalculator.html#12,18,110,12,false,Huge,18,26,false,0,false,2,mf-legendary-resistance:3,mf-magic-resistance:true']Firelord's CR Calculation[/URL][/b]. The SRD Efreeti is Offensive CR 8 and Defensive CR 10, so I feel justified aiming for a higher defensive number than offensive one. That said, I'm wondering if we should tweak its STR and CHA so they have the same modifier, since if its spell attacks are lower than its melee ones it might throw of the calculations. I'm thinking we can either give it STR 24 (+7), CHA 24 (+7) to keep its current +12 to hit or make it STR 24 (+6), CHA 22 (+6) for a +11 to hit (which'll boost its DPR range to 99-116. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
