Despite it's high attack and AC numbers, it's low hit points severly limit it. I would put it's CR at 3.A 3rd level Sorcerer with Magic Missile would do an average of 7 damage, and would automatically beat it's Spell resistance. In fact, only a 1st level wizard even has a chance to fail, and only a 5% one. It's damage reduction barely protects it.That said it would be a tough encounter for a 3rd level party, so maybe a CR of 4 might be better. Of course, at that point, the arcane caster should be able to take it down nice and easily.On the other hand, increasing the HD would be a better option. It is too easy to kill this way. At worst, it will weaken the party by draining a few points of Con before it is taken down.If you are aiming for a CR of 10, I recommend increasing its Hit Dice to about 8.</blockquote>
