So, being bored and not having anything better to do, I sat down and did it myself. Only took a few hours, really - it was easier than I thought. Basically, each level of monsters for both spells has an average CR. Once I figured that out, it was easy to rebalance everything by applying UK's CRs to the monsters and moving them to the proper levels. I had to boost the average CR for each level by 0.5, but as it turns out, that works well with the legendary spell system I've done (summoning a creature of CR 12+ adds +1 spell level per 2 points of CR over 10).The attachment has the lists for both spells; the average (target) CR for each level is as follows: L1 - 1.5L2 - 2L3 - 3L4 - 4L5 - 5.5L6 - 7L7 - 8.5L8 - 10L9 - 11.5If you want to continue making summon monster/nature's ally spells, I would probably boost the average CR by 2 (so 13.5 at L10, 15.5 at L11, etc.).</blockquote>
