[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7010829, member: 20323"] Something doesn't look right about the CR of the VGtM quicklings... OK, let's find out what CR your "Howling Hatred" Quicklings are. We'll confer with the DMG p. 274... [B](1) Understanding VGtM Quickling[/B] We need to figure out the value of the quickling's defensive trait Blurred Movement; I already am pretty sure Evasion has no impact on CR calculations, so leaving that out of the equation. HP 10, AC 16 So its defensive CR (without Blurred Movement) is 1/4 3 attacks dealing 8.5 per attack = 25.5 DPR with +8 to hit So its offensive CR is 5! Take the average... (5 + 1/4) / 2 = CR 2.65 And that's [I]without[/I] taking Blurred Movement into account! My conclusion is that the VGtM Quickling was mistakenly assigned a CR 1. Its CR should be 3 like others are saying (I'd round up 2.65 due to Blurred Movement). [B](2) "Howling Hatred" Quickling, Defensive CR calculation[/B] HP 30 AC 19 (leather armor, and Dex 26 / +8) >> effective AC 23 Blurred Movement –– ? Evasion –– has no impact on CR calculations Nimble Escape –– increase effective AC by +4 So it's defensive CR (without Blurred Movement) is 3. [B](3) "Howling Hatred" Quickling, Offensive CR calculation[/B] 4 attacks dealing 10.5 (1d4+8) damage per attack = 42 DPR with +10 to hit So its offensive CR is 8. [B](4) "Howling Hatred" Quickling, Total CR[/B] Take the average... (3 + 8) / 2 = CR 5.5 Since that's [I]without[/I] taking Blurred Movement into account, I suggest rounding up to CR 6. [B](5) Encounter Building[/B] A party of five 10th-level PCs would have a Deadly encounter with a Cloaker (CR 8) and two "Howling Hatred" Quicklings (CR 6). [SIZE=5]Tl;dr Your Quickling is CR 6[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
