Challenge Level ... curious

[karooba]

I just noticed the Tarrasque and Titan don't have a Challenge Rating ... they have a Challenge Level. What's up with this?

It's a leftover from an earlier draft of the rules.

Edit: If you have the first printing of the PH, look at the 2000 Survival Guide in the back.

As everyone knows, a challenge RATING is a rough estimate of what level a party of 4 characters needs to be to fight it, give or take a couple of levels for risk. It kind of makes you wonder if the Titan and Tarrasque don't use challenge ratings, but instead are counted as their own party. I don't know...challenge level...that's kind of wierd.
