I'll be the DM and will be running a monster NPC, in this case it's a Very Young Brass Dragon, with no wings.I know how 3.5 would handle such a character's EL (-1 EL due to no wings, than plus the remainder to its HD). PF doesn't use EL/ECL. I've read its CR as "ECL" rule, and just want to confirm that in PF you use the CR as the ECL for monster NPCs.However; I've noticed under special mounts that a young dragon is CR +8. Should this rule be used also for a dragon NPC, and if so, should the +8 be reduced due to the dragon being Very Young?</blockquote>
