[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1785800, member: 224"] Just for the record, you're looking for the "EL" of the encounter, not CR. The CR of each participant is:[list][*]Kuo-Toa Rog12/Cleric 12 --> CR 25 [*]Illitihid cleric 11 --> CR 19 [*]2 kuo-toa Rog6/Ftr5 --> CR 12 [*]2 kuo-toa cleric 9 --> CR 11[/list] In the EL calculation, the effect of the king's CR swamps out any consideration for all of his allies. (Yoows-za!) It's his CR that determines the base EL. Given that the encounter is in his temple with the Unhallow (Greater Dispelling) effect, that sounds like a "twice as difficult" encounter, meaning the EL is increased by +2 (page 39, 3.5e DMG). So the EL of this encounter is ~27. Your APL is *what*? Yer toast. BTW: should you happen to win, you'll get quite a few XP. *Insist* on seeing his calculations for that, as I suspect he'll flub them, as he flubbed the EL of this encounter. [/QUOTE]
