[QUOTE="Green Knight, post: 243633, member: 2723"] But who says the enemy army won't have a CR in a D&D game? I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that a point value, when using a mass combat miniature wargame[b] within the context a D&D campaign[/b], isn't necessary. It demonstrates they're unrelated in that in D&D, all three would be worth EXACTLY the same amount of experience points, but in Chainmail, they're worth a different amount of points when you kill them. How about we don't? That's just making things needlessly complicated, not to mention rewriting the experience rules in the DMG. All level 1 creatures are CR 1 in D&D. Now you want to say that a level 1 Rogue is CR 0.625? That a 1st level Monk is CR 0.875? So how am I supposed to figure out the experience points for a CR 0.625 creature? In D&D, it doesn't matter if that troll has a club or a chain shirt and a greatsword. It's still CR 5. Why make it any more complicated than that? That's certainly something that someone would have to come up with. Also CR's for war machines, like cannons, for example. [/QUOTE]
