[QUOTE="A'koss, post: 2288690, member: 840"] I'm willing to extend a little slack here. ;) But as a publisher... with a product competing in the same airspace... I'd be careful how I was perceived in a thread like this. Mike's going to address the mechanics of CR in IH? Okay, I see where we may have had our wires crossed - could you point out where he says this? And here I thought I caught all the IH gossip... I can tell you right now there is little, if any, scientific method in WotC's CR determinations. They come with a baseline, then use playtesting with their iconics to get a rough placement. Now, whether you *could* sit down and say flying is worth X, 5th level clerical casting ability is worth Y, a Rod of Lordy Might is worth Z and apply it to both characters and monsters you *could* come up with something. This is how Upper Krust is handling it, right? However, in practice... The EL wonkiness is another matter yet... Wait for the next HL adventuring thread to come up. I know of it, and I've heard good things about it, but have any of the major publishers adopted it? [/QUOTE]
