Message: <blockquote data-quote="WhosDaDungeonMaster" data-source="post: 7539899">So, I am nearing the end-game for my group in their current adventure and planning out the sub-boss and boss.From the encountering building material in the DMG, I need the sub-boss to be a CR 3 Priest, and the boss a CR 5 Priest (they have some lackeys as well, but those are standard monster-types and already factored into the encounters). Anyway, those CRs will give me a Hard and Deadly, respectively, ratings. The party consists of 5 4th-levels and 2 3rd-levels, in case you need to know.But, I am running into a snag trying to determine just what levels they should be, etc. Does the Monster Statistics by Challenge Rating (p. 274 DMG) work well for this? It doesn't seem to, but I could certainly be missing something. I mean, the Hit Points ranges listed seem way too high for using this system when translating an NPC-type into a boss.I will keep working on them today, but in the meantime if anyone has any tips, suggestions, advice, please let me know and thanks.</blockquote>
