[QUOTE="JEB, post: 6455309, member: 10148"] Hmm. While I understand why some people think the HP range on page 274 is average and not min-to-max - after all, 5E tends to use average values heavily - it seems less and less likely as I look at it more. And not just because of my reading of the text... See, let's take CR 7, 161-175 hp. If that only describes the average-hp-per-die, that means a max-HP monster at CR 7 could have nearly half again or more HP, easily 250 or higher... doesn't that seem a little high for the potential power of a CR 7 monster? Keep in mind that 250 hp is the domain of CR 12 monsters... simply maxing out HP shouldn't be that much of a challenge boost. But if 175 HP is the upper end of what we should expect from CR 7... that would make more sense. Overall, though, I'm really hoping we get some kind of clarification on this in the near future...
