[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 9385935, member: 83242"] I think you have got how it is intended to work. I've only done a few monsters myself, but it has been interesting to see where things fall. Definitely need to do some tweaking. One of those being - XP! My first pass at XP was just a WAG starting at level 20. I have a more recent attempt that is closer to the official XP numbers. However, I don't like how the official XP scales and I'm fighting against my desire to have things scale well and make sense vs making it match up more closely with the "official" xp numbers. This issue is particularly noticeable at low CR/level. When monsters get above CR 5 or so they convert fairly well, below that not so much. Also, anything below CR 1 would probably convert to Level 1 minion or grunt which have 1/4 and 1/2 XP respectively. Still quite a few kinks to work out. So a CR 6 Bloodfray Giant (2,300 XP) converts to about level 8 monster (2,400XP).* That is close enough form me. Below CR 6 things don't look so good! [I]*In my current XP table, not the one shared here (yet).[/I] Just an FYI, I got back to this project because I am exploring my epic / immortals rules again and it was helpful in that process to rebuild the foundation so to speak. So I was first and foremost concerned with over level 20 play and am trying to go back and make this work for level 1-20. [/QUOTE]
