It is a great aid for new DMs, or even experienced ones -  my only real problem with it is when the community considers in the ONLY way a DM can possibly create and balance encounters, which is the prevalent attitude BTW. "Most people" refers to "most people I have debated the topic with", so it really isn't a generalisation, but a statement of personal experience.Sorry if I come accross as haughty or dismissive of other systems - it comes from being consistently flogged on this and other forums for suggesting that the CR system is anything less than perfect. I use what works best for my own game and own players, and offer to share that knowledge with the community at large. When you get consistently put down and told "OMFG, you don't follow the RAW to the letter??? Heretic!!!" you get a little jaded...No offense was intended to anyone in particular, sorry if anyone took it personally.</blockquote>
