[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 1402303, member: 16221"] 1st lvl NPC starting gp with which to buy equipment, according to my DMG, is 900gp which can be used to purchase mounts or whatever that warrior needs. My original intent was that the 250,000gp would be used for giving out all standard equipment, but I've since had a change of heart, especially after noticing that UK modifies CR if you have standard equipment or are unequipped. So instead, you have a choice: Use "Unequipped" CR values when computing CR, and then use your 250,000gp to equip them, or use the "Equipped" CR values, and use your 250,000gp on whatever else you want. By the way, I'm doing my own math here, and a War1, with NPC Equipment, is 0.7 + 0.124 = 0.824. Square that and you have 0.678976. Multiply by 4, and you get 2.715904, which is a little higher than what you put down for your list (you said 1.777 for 4 warriors)... and since you base your higher calculations on this single lower calculation, everything up from there was mucked up. Here's the numbers I get... [code]First-Level Supra-units: Infantry Squad: 3.715904 1 Corporal (Ftr1 - PC Equipment) = 1 4 Privates (War1 - NPC Equipment) = 2.715904 Cavalry Squad: 3.715904 1 Corporal (Pal1 - PC Equipment) = 1 4 Privates (War1 - NPC Equipment) = 2.715904 Archery Squad: 3.715904 1 Corporal (Rgr1 - PC Equipment) = 1 4 Privates (War1 - NPC Equipment) = 2.715904 ------------ Second-Level Supra-Units Infantry Platoon: 52.57952 5 Infantry Squads = 18.57952 1 Staff Sergeant (Ftr4) = 16 1 Sergeant (Ftr2) = 4 1 Priest-Adjutant (Clr3) = 9 1 Priest-Adjutant (Clr1) = 1 1 Mage-Adjutant (Sor2) = 4 Cavalry Platoon: 55.57952 5 Cavalry Squads = 18.57952 1 Staff Sergeant (Pal4) = 16 2 Sergeants (Pal2) = 8 1 Priest-Adjutant (Clr3) = 9 1 Mage-Adjutant (Sor2) = 4 Archery Platoon: 55.57952 5 Archery Squads = 18.57952 1 Staff Sergeant (Rgr4) = 16 2 Sergeants (Rgr2) = 8 1 Priest-Adjutant (Clr3) = 9 1 Mage-Adjutant (Sor2) = 4 ------------ Top-Level Supra-Units Company: 277.31808 2 Infantry Platoons = 105.15904 1 Archery Platoon = 55.57952 1 Cavalry Platoon = 55.57952 1 Lieutenant (Ftr4/Exp2) = 25 1 Master Sergeant (Pal6) = 36 Special Artillery Squad: 60 1 Artillery Commander (Sor6) = 36 1 Artillery Adjutant (Sor4) = 16 8 Bombardiers (Sor1) = 8 The Knights of Light: 51 1 Knight Commander (Clr5) = 25 2 Knights Brewmasters (Clr3) = 18 8 Knights-Errant (Clr1) = 8 ------------ The Light Brigade: 3 Companies = 831.95424 1 Special Artillery = 60 1 Knights of Light = 51 All commanded by: Lieutenant Colonel Carmina Tavarr -- Ftr4/Exp6 = 64 Command Sergeant Major Donnis Zim -- Pal8 = 64 Assisted by: Meshach, Rorshach, and Horshack -- Carmina's three falcons = 3 [statted as eagles] Julian Nell, secretary to the colonel (Exp1) = 0.25 Total allocation: 1074.20424 pts.[/code] [/QUOTE]
