The EL rules fall apart when that happens, and unless you're a tactical genius (maybe you are) you can't handle 20 of those guys in the same combat. It'll probably turn into multiple smaller encounters. (It'll be more interesting, I think, if the level 20 aboleths have different mixtures of class levels and extra monster Hit Dice.)If you mean 7 NPCs, it's a bit different... 2 NPCs = EL 19, 4 = EL 21, 7 = 22 to 23. But I don't think you meant that.For 7 PCs, you should probably treat all the ELs as if they have been decreased by 2. That's a rough way of doing it.</blockquote>
