Otherwise its going to take you ages to work out spell lists.<a href="http://www.immortalshandbook.com/freestuff9.htm" target="_blank">http://www.immortalshandbook.com/freestuff9.htm</a>I also suggest giving everyone max skill ranks + skill bonus in known skills. That'll cut down the time spent messing about with that.As for dealing damage, I have a rule in my Bestiary for how density (and muscle density) affects damage. Basically, every 15* points of strength above the average for that size (ie. 10 or medium) your base damage dice increases by one category.eg. With 25 strength you could deal damage 2d6 damage with a longsword, with 40 strength you could deal 2d8, with 55 strength you could deal 4d6 etc.*Anyone with the Bestiary will know it says 20, but that will change in the official version. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />As for what happened versus Io, I would point out that the author was probably trying to balance it using official applications of Challenge Rating, which in my experience are 2/3rds of the monsters ECL. Therefore Io is probably akin to ECL 146. Which is undoubtedly why you are getting creamed Ozmar, because individual characters are not of a Challenge Rating equal to their level.Its the same way that a Balor would easily defeat a single 20th-level character.The official Challenge Ratings were designed to give a fairly tough challenge for a party of 4 PCs. You would be better putting a single character up against something of CR 66 or thereabouts. Although the PC (especially one thats just been created rather than evolved over time) should be the slight favourite in such an encounter.</blockquote>
