[QUOTE="Howndawg, post: 3767396, member: 54639"] Actually, challenge ratings are one of the things I hate most about 3e. Not that I don't like knowing if monsters are an appropriate challenge, but CR's are based on the players having a balanced party and "appropriate" wealth for their level. Now in some gaming groups, balanced parties are the norm, but in most groups I've played in, player quirks and preferences means that sometimes a key role is not well represented. In parties where almost everyone plays a warrior type, some monsters are going to be too easy while others are too difficult. As to wealth by level, in every 1e and 2e campaign I've been in, the amount of wealth is the DM's decision. The CR system hard wired a certain wealth level into the game and made it difficult for DM's to hand out items as best befits their campaign. Goodbye CR's. I won't miss you. Howndawg [/QUOTE]
