[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5432853, member: 75712"] Hehe, agreed! ;) I believe the numbers you cited are the rationale behind the CR+5="overwhelming" rule of thumb: at that point, an encounter is more than 50% likely to be a TPK (assuming 4 PCs). All right then! Let's shift gears and change the cutoff to CR12. I'll redo the files I've already done. Gilladian, iirc, the "Monsters-Animals" file tops out at CR10-ish, so it becomes a "no change" file, right? For creatures in the range of CR7-12, just make a note of ones you think are likely more difficult in a strict E6 game than their CR would indicate (though if monster is obviously too difficult, feel free to just chuck it, even if it is less than CR12). I'm guessing noted creatures will be those with two or three of: - high DR; - high SR; - spells/SLAs/Su abilities that rely on 4th+ level spells ([I]especially[/I] save-or-die effects). - other stuff I've forgotten, probably We'll figure out exactly what to do with these more problematic monsters during a later pass through the material.
