[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 7864991, member: 72555"] If you follow the DMG encounter building system, you get 2 CR1s is roughly a CR3, not a CR2. The OP (and I) deconstructed the DMG XP system and we think we found a different scale than CR. In that scale [B]you can just add[/B]. The big differences is the CR 0 to 3 range. CR 1/8 is 1/6 of a point CR 1/4 is 1/3 of a point CR 1/2 is 2/3 of a point CR 1 is 1 point CR 2 is 1.5 points CR 3 is 2 points After that, from 4 through 15 or so, you get 1 point per CR. I and the OP disagree how to best fit in a relatively unimportant way. From 15 to 20 we reach 23ish points. After 20, we get like 5 points per CR. In this "point" system, adding works. The difference is that addinc CR will have 5 CR 3 monsters be CR 15, but adding points makes them CR 10ish. For CR 1 monsters, the results are similar after the first 4 or so (CR will disagree by 1 or so). For sub-1 CR monsters, there is lots of divergence; adding CRs will result in lower total CR than using points/the DMG guidelines. [/QUOTE]
