[QUOTE="twjensen, post: 102507, member: 3124"] [b]Tooth 'n claw[/b] WoTC is planning to publish a set of ECLs for lotsa monsters. At that point, you can find the most similar creature in there, and then bump the ECL up or down based on whether your creature is more or less powerful than the guideline. There is no formula because monsters have some weird powers that don't lend themselves to simple math. Give me 20 grand and two months and I could write a computer program that would do a reasonable job, but then it would take an army of interns to enter all the creatures and run it. WoTC has decided that its a lot more fun to just playtest. :D [/QUOTE]
