Scaling down Monsters

[beldar1215]

Does anyone know a quick and easy set of guidelines for scaling down monsters. My DM, who is running Dark Sun, wants to scale down some of the upcoming monsters. Since they are not in the Monster builder yet, I thought I would direct him to some easy guidelines to do this. Any help would be great.

DMG has rules for it, somewhere shortly after p172 or so.

And it does work in the Monster Builder. Just change the level. Poof, adjusted.

I think he is using mostly Dark Sun monsters, which I don't think are in there yet. I could be wrong. Also, I was hoping to give him a cheat sheet. We work in the same office and I wanted to give this to him today. I still thank you for the quick reply.

If anyone has a cheat sheet, it would be very helpful.

We were able to find what we needed.

Good deal. And yeah, it's basically +/- 1 to every attack, defense, and damage per level. HP are more complicated, but just using +/-8 (*2 Elite, *4 Solo) is probably fast enough for a cheat sheet.
