[QUOTE="Xylix, post: 503121, member: 9089"] Challenge rating is designed so that a 4 person party of a level equal to the challenge ratting will use up 20-25% of their resources. (one presumes renuable resources) That is how Challenge ratting is defined. If you wish to define it as : Character level +1, or those creatures of comparible power. That is fine. However, you are using both definitions, and both are obviously wrong as Character Level +1 does not produce a Challenge for a party of four characters of equal level to the challenge rating. As such one definition must be dumped. I keep the original because that is a useful tool in determining how dangerous the encounter is the the player, which is what Challenge Rating is used in operation. I through the other out because it obviously does not relate. What Character level = in CR needs to be determined on the definition offered. Equally so does EL +X need to be determined on if it truely matches the expected challenge when you double the number of people. They gave their challenge figuring it worked fine, and it does in some senarios, perhaps in those where the creature had correct, or possibly already incorrect CR. [/QUOTE]
