I need to run some calculations, but the early indications are promising.For instance take that first example that Upper Krust uses:1 great red wyrm (CR 62)+3 balors (3 x CR 33)+10 vrock (10 x CR 15)+14 babau (14 x CR 10)Total CR = 451 EL 36, -9 (28 opponents) = EL 27XP for an EL 27 is 614,400Now look up the monsters individuallyCR 62 = EL 24 (230,400 xp)CR 33 = EL 21 (76,800 xp)CR 15 = EL 16 (14,400 xp)CR 10 = EL 14 (7,200 xp)Add them up230,400+3 x 76,800+10 x 14,400+14 x 7200Total: 705600 xpAbout 13% more than the EL method.  705600 is about 30% of the way between EL 27 (614,400 xp) and EL 28 (921600).  So this might work. Considering the rough approximations that the charts involve, the difference is not too bad.I need to do some more calculations....</blockquote>
