[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3067219, member: 326"] I made two mistakes earlier on. DOH! One with EL, the other with advanced monster CRs. CR 16 = EL -8 - Cannon Fodder CR 19 = EL -7 [COLOR=Blue]~ Weak Hero deity[/COLOR] CR 22 = EL -6 - Very Easy [COLOR=Blue]~ Tough Hero-deity[/COLOR] CR 28 = EL -5 [COLOR=Blue]~ Weak Quasi-deity[/COLOR] CR 33 = EL -4 - Easy [COLOR=Blue]~ Tough Quasi-deity[/COLOR] CR 39 = EL -3 [COLOR=Blue]~ Weak Demipower[/COLOR] CR 44 = EL -2 - Below Average [COLOR=Blue]~ Tough Demipower[/COLOR] CR 55 = EL -1 [COLOR=Blue]~ Weak Lesser Power[/COLOR] [B]CR 66 = EL +/-0[/B] - Average Encounter [COLOR=Indigo]~ Tough Lesser Power[/COLOR] CR 83 = EL +1 [COLOR=Red]~ Weak Intermediate Power[/COLOR] CR 100 = EL +2 - Tough [COLOR=Red]~ Tough Intermediate Power[/COLOR] CR 117 = EL +3 [COLOR=Red]~ Weak Greater Power[/COLOR] CR 133 = EL +4 - Difficult [COLOR=Red]~ Tough Greater Power[/COLOR] CR 166 = EL +5 [COLOR=Red]~ Weak Elder One[/COLOR] CR 200 = EL +6 - Very Difficult [COLOR=Red]~ Tough Elder One[/COLOR] CR 250 = EL +7 [COLOR=Red]~ Weak Old One[/COLOR] CR 300 = EL +8 - All but impossible [COLOR=Red]~ Tough Old One[/COLOR] Therefore 12-15 Balors would be an EL +/-0 encounter. Collectively the PCs should be equal to between 48-63 Balors. I would always favour putting the maximum number in where possible. I may have some of the Advanced CRs a fraction high, here are the revisions. - Bone Ooze CR 21 (60 HD = CR 29)...replacing the 100 Green Slimes encounter. Therefore 7 x 60 HD should be EL +/-0. - Corpse Gatherer CR 19 (60 HD = CR 25)...used as random encounter? 11 x 60 HD = EL +/-0 - Deathbringer CR 17 (90 HD = CR 29)...used in some sort of guardian capacity? 7 x 90 HD = EL +/-0 - Effigy CR 17 (54 HD = CR 22) 11 x 54 HD = EL +/-0 - Famine Spirit CR 19 (64 HD = CR 25) 11 x 64 HD = EL +/-0 - Fiendwurm CR 28 (72 HD = CR 44)...replacing the Advanced Nightcrawlers (which we can use later in the adventure). Fiendwurms most notable attack is their death throes which such people into the Abyss. But at the same time I want the PCs to go via the Gate in Zhenghi's Castle. So the Fiendwurm may send them to an isolated plane. 2 x 72 HD = EL +/-0 - Flesh Jelly CR 19 (36 HD = CR 22) 11 x 36 HD = EL +/-0 - Kelvezu CR 18 (24 HD = potentially CR 29 with better equipment) 7 x 24 HD = EL +/-0 - Ragewind CR 19 (64 HD = CR 25) 11 x 64 HD = EL +/-0 [B]MM3[/B] - Charnel Hound CR 13 (63 HD = CR 21)...I really like the idea of packs of these. 15 x 63 HD = El +/-0 - Necronaut CR 14 (96 HD = CR 26)...I can see these stalking over the battlefields. 11 x 96 HD = EL +/-0 [B]Fiend Folio[/B] - Crawling Head CR 20 (84 HD = CR 31) 7 x 84 HD = EL +/-0 - Demonflesh Golem CR 18 (72 HD = CR 27) 11 x 72 HD = EL +/-0 - Hullathoin CR 15 (48 HD = CR 21) 15 x 48 HD = EL +/-0 [/QUOTE]
