[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 906628, member: 2358"] You're missing the point. If the CR was anywhere near accurate, you would only use up to 20% of your resources. All these things you say, they not only require you to know the encounter is going to happen before it does (very rare situation), they also require you to have a specific uncommon set of equipment and/or spells handy (also rare) and these tactics STILL use more than 20% of your resources. A 20% encounter is one where you can go toe-to-toe and win most of the time without using hardly any resources at all. Also, if the CR was even close, a party could handle four or five such encounters, which is clearly not the case. Great, use your tactic to beat the thing. What will you do when you meet another an hour later? What will you do if you meet a third after that? None of you can give any way for low-level parties to do that and live to tell about it. Most parties couldn't get past even one much less several. Try using a standard party and standard situations and then you'll see. This thing is simply CR 41/EL 22. You're gonna be Level 40 before you can take these things on at any normal rate. [/QUOTE]
