That's a 100% increase in CR factors (that is, the "cost" of those things that go into making up CR).There is not as much of a difference between CR20 and CR21 (a 5% increase in CR-factors).This is why going from CR20 to CR21 really shouldn't change the EL (as it does in the DMG). It's just not true that a CR21 is the same magnitude more difficult than the CR20 as the CR2 is compared to the CR1.CR doesn't continue to increase EL on a 1:1 basis because there is only so much that a creature can do with its abilities in a single round. Which, again, is why multiple creatures are more dangerous than a single creature: they are able to bring to bear a lot more of their firepower each round.It sure took me a long time to get around to explaining that, huh?</blockquote>
