However, if the characters were expected to overcome her influence over a community which refused to move out of the way of an advancing army because they refused to give up their ancestral lands, her CR might be considered much higher, possibly in the range of CR 2 or 3. I do try to take context into consideration when thinking about CR. If it's just a monster the PCs are expected to kill, combat ability, potential damage output, and likelihood to consume party resources are the most important factor. But for social interaction, puzzles, or mystery situations, the situation changes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
