[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 905563, member: 2358"] Hehehe . . . To be perfectly honest, this is actually one of the WORST CR mistakes in any of the books. Any DM who believes that CR 11 crap is a total idiot! I'm sorry, but a Colossal Monstrous Scorpion WILL (not might, WILL) bring about a TPK EVERY SINGLE TIME against a Level 11 party with no exceptions. This is an impossible encounter. A Level 11 party is PEL 14. Wanna guess the ACTUAL CR of the Colossal Monstrous Scorpion? Try 41.4! That's right, it's CR 41.4/EL 22! Lemme put this is simpler terms . . . A Level 20-23 party (PEL 18) is needed for the PCs to have even a 50/50 chance against one of these. A Level 40-47 (PEL 22) party is needed for the PCs to be able to handle one of these as a standard encounter. So to say it again, only an idiot DM would dare to throw one at a Level 11 party. CR 11 they are not! Note: To see how I got these numbers, follow the link I posted in my previous post. [/QUOTE]
