[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3752289, member: 35788"] FWIW, I totally agree with balancing a single versus a party. Personally - and this may just be a personal preference - I always think it is easier and better game design to start at the most basic component and design a method for scaling up. I think is is less intuitive to say that group of creatures are a certain CR and perhaps have to go backwards. [Sblock=Aside] FWIW, I know that a few posters have slighted my earlier post regarding mathematical terms. As a former math teacher, I was simply trying to explain math for those people unfamiliar with math but trying to follow the conversation. It was meant as an aide for those who struggle with math. I have found that the typical person struggles with math and is put off by it - and most people appreciate a pleasant attempt to explain it. I have never been trying to sidetrack the conversation or sound pompous. I apologize if it came off that way.[/Sblock] [/QUOTE]
