Interestingly, a PC's CR is pretty similar to his/her character level. This chart isn't a bad place to start for such numbers. To fine-tune it for this purpose, I would say that...Good-BAB characters should generally have at least 3-4 points higher than the minimum on attack. Similarly, ability-oriented characters should have maximum DCs 1-2 points higher than on the table.It's perfectly fine for poor saves to be as little as two-thirds that on the table (even lower for Reflex) for everyone (monsters can't afford to drop below this point because they often go solo and getting impaired for even a turn or two can end the fight, but that's not big a deal for parties of PCs).For similar reasons, hp don't need to be that high. d10-HD characters need something like 3/4 that, d8-HD characters need something like 1/2 that, and d6-HD characters need something like 1/4 that. However, AC should be a bit higher for the party as a whole, averaging a few points higher than the minimums on the table.</blockquote>
