[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4898056, member: 326"] Hello again Scurvy! :) Not at all. Anytime between 4pm to about midnight here (about 10 pm to 4 pm EST I guess) is a nightmare for me. Thanks for the link. I never bought the PHB2 for 3.5E. Ah the aura... ...treat it as an Always Active spell or closest you can get. Where it has multiple settings rate the most powerful and treat all secondary aura abilities as Half their value. I'll stick with 4E thanks. ;) I can't even remember how I got the caster spell levels right now. The two problems, as I see it are that firstly I cannot remember how exactly I did the spellcasting. Secondly, I changed my Class Breakdown 18 months ago when I did the Revised 3.5 Classes on my website. I am sure I have some notes for the Revised Class breakdown lying about somewhere, but those probably won't be found until I come back from holiday. Tell me about it. ;) I'll help where I can. I should point ut that I am going away on holiday for 10 days as of Friday, so the details will have to wait. Well skills be damned basically, however, I think Hit Dice and Ability Scores are intrinsic to determining CR. Do you think you can bypass those and still come up with a viable alternative? I wish you every success. "Scurvy's Quick Fix" you could call it. I am sure there are enough people still interested in the matter - applying it to Pathfinder might be the way forward to generating more interest. I hope you get to where you are going and find out it was worth it. I know a lot of people got a kick out of my Challenge Rating/Encounter Level documents, but it was only the fact that it was a necessity for Epic/Immortal Level gaming that I undertook the matter at all. Frankly if you are just concerned with Levels 1-20 I wouldn't bother doing what you're doing (not to dissuade you, simply that you aren't going to get notably better results than the official 'guesstimations').
