Good or bad I appreciate all feedback.  Indeed, as Mr T would say: I pity the fool using the official CR system for epic campaigns. Sucka. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Some things do but I doubt its as bad as you would think especially after instigating the minor changes I advocate.But these are issues outlined in the DMG as situational modifiers. While we can't list every eventuality we can provide a framework of examples and how they could affect Encounter Levels.  Accuracy; Balance; Certainty; promotes Experimentation; Flexibility; easy Integration; completely Modular; are a virtual Necessity at epic levels; Sensibly dictate things like monster advancement; and are Unlimited in that they function at any measure of power.Thats an interesting idea, shouldn't be too difficult. What program would be the most expedient in creating this?Incidently:7 5th-level PCs (CR 5 each) = Party Encounter Level 11 (10 + 5 - 4)3 Girallons (CR 7 each) = Encounter Level 15 (12 + 3)Therefore the encounter is EL +4 or 50/50 without any impacting situational modifiers. Well when it gets published in Dragon magazine we will really see the proverbial hitting the fan. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I'm curious are you going to adopt 3.5 Edition when it arrives?I suppose thats fair enough. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
