Therefore if I have a CR wrong one of the factors must be incorrectly detailed; at this late stage I think I have the factors almost perfect *touch wood*.Well remember that a moderate encounter should be a fairly comfortable win for the PCs. The 'acid test' (to use WotC's vernacular) is setting the 12th-level PCs against an equal number of Fiendish Black Puddings - that should be a 50/50 challenge.   Took me about 30 seconds. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />The inability to retreat could invariably be a situational modifier.(Standard) Black Pudding:10th-level party of 4-5 PCs = EL +/-0 (moderate)7th-level party of 4-5 PCs = EL +2 (tough)5th-level party of 4-5 PCs = EL +4 (difficult, 50/50)3rd-level party of 4-5 PCs = EL +6 (very difficult)2nd-level party of 4-5 PCs = EL +8 (virtually impossible)  Anytime mate! <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=":)" /><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" /></blockquote>
