[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 3492499, member: 16221"] Upper Krust's ECL/CR system (ver 5) has more detailed and specific rules for this. Extensive playtesting has shown this as valid, though it isn't WotC official by any means. [code][b]SPELL-LIKE ABILITIES[/b] Use Table 1-7 to determine the ECL bonus for Spell-like Abilities. (To determine the equivalent spell-level of Epic Spells. Spellcraft DC ÷ 10 (round down), then add 7. eg.
