[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 3040554, member: 957"] Bad logic. You can not possibly say that it is overpowered at CR9 by giving it CR10 gear. If you go ahead and give it EL10 treasure then it is not a CR9 creature anymore. To show that a CR9 creature is more powerful than it should be you must set it up completely as a CR9 creature. Thus you must use CR9 treasure. Then show it is to powerful as is. Once you make the point and bump it up to CR10 then it gets more treasure and becomes slightly more powerful, but that has no bearing on whether or not it was balanced at CR9 with EL9 treasure. It is the same as saying that a 9th level psion is to powerful by giving him level 10 gear. Of course if you give him more gear than he is supposed to get he is more powerful than he is supposed to be. The question is, is he to powerful with the amount of gear he is supposed to have.
