I won't say what it is, much too embarrassing that I could miss something so simple.Anyway, obviously I have already solved the dilemma, but it does radically alter the way Encounter Level is handled.The old formulas of CR x1.5 = EL +2, CR x2 = EL +4 are wrong.The new formulas are CR x1.5 = EL +3, CR x2 = EL +6.However this doesn't exactly tell the whole story. What I have uncovered is that 3.3 characters of an equal level are as powerful e.g. 3.3 20th-level characters are equal to a single 30th-level character.Obviously you can't have 3.3 characters, so there is a slight ambiguity.Likewise 10 characters of an equal level are as powerful as one character double their level.e.g. Ten 20th-level characters are equal to a single 40th-level character. So a CR 32 Demogorgon would be the equivalent of thirteen 20th-level PCs.This also affects how immortals scale.Instead of a doubling at each increase of divine status, its an effective increase of 3.3.e.g. A typical Lesser God will be as powerful as 3.3 demigods, or 10 quasi-deities, or 33 hero-deities or 100 Prophets.Naturally when I get around to typing up Version 6, I'll include all this new data. But I just thought I would give you all a heads up.Any comments?</blockquote>
