Sorry if this is a question asked and asked again, but I scanned the first 10 pages in this forum first......
I'm working on an encounter for my regular game.
1) If I had 4 PC's of Level 9, then a CR 9 Monster would be an appropriate challenge for them. -- The reason I ask this, is that I have one of the other regular DM's in the group tell me that I should work on the assumption that the party is EL 11 ( 4 * CR 9) instead of EL 9.
2) What CR would be a good challenge for a party of Six Lvl 9 PC's? -- My thought (based on my assumptions from #1) would be that a CR 10 would be a 20% resource usage for the party (Party of Four Lvl 9 + Two additional Lvl 9 characters), so if I wanted a challenge with some teeth in it, I should look at around CR 12-13 (CR 14 would probably be a bit too much).
Thanks in advance and I hope my questions are too rambling and incoherant..... =)
