Could you elaborate on the general "levels" of the monsters in the creature catalog? What's the highest level dood?

Edit: Crothian I noticed this over on RPG.net

How does the Mul's "Only 6 in 72 hours" work? That part confuses me.

confuses me too

Normally to get the benefit of an extended rest you have to have had at least 6 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours. If you haven't had 6 hours of sleep in 24 hours, say your character has been up for 30 hours straight running from slavering monsters trying to murder him you get no benefit at all. The Mul ignores this, instead he needs only 6 hours of sleep every 72 hours to gain the benefit of an extended rest - meaning they can be up an astounding 3 days straight without sleep and not suffer as much as another character. So the Mul in the party that kept going 30 hours straight would gain a benefit out of his extended rest, while the other PCs wouldn't.

Edit: Rules citations.

Sleeping and Waking Up. Extended Rest.

There are about 9 creatures of level 1-12. There are at least 2 and as many as 7 monsters per level up to 23. And then there is at least one monster of each level up to 30. Dragon of Tyr tops in as level 33. All in all I count 178 monsters.

Interesting. I expected more heroic monsters than that to be honest. Nine is quite a small number.

It's Dark Sun lore that someday the ancient Halflings from the Green Age that left on a comet or something will one day be back. I don't recall what book that was published in but it was there in 2e days.

What, seriously?

Anyone remember which book that was in?

Presumably Crothian means 9 monsters per level through level 12.

Crude estimates based on my interpretation of Crothian's post:
12 levels of ~9 monsters: ~108 monsters
11 levels of ~4.5 monsters: ~50 monsters
7 levels of ~1.5 monsters: ~10 monsters

Total: about 168 monsters, close to the given count of 178

Or did I misinterpret you? Are you saying that 9 monsters per level seems quite small?

 

[Aegeri]

Ah, that makes far more sense now you put it like that and you interpreted my misinterpretation of his post correctly.

 

[Crothian]

Presumably Crothian means 9 monsters per level through level 12.

That is correct and a rough average.

Damn, for a sec there, I thought they had gone all the way and made Dark Sun really... like really deadly..

Can you imagine that? Hard-core PoL world where most monsters are level 11+..
