[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 1173532, member: 326"] Hi ByronD! :) Fire away dude and no apologies necessary. Okay, see Page 15, Table 2-1: Challenge rating/Encounter Level Relationship. See how CR 59 is equal to EL 24 Now lets look at your PCs the same way. Lets say you have a Party of four 24th-level PCs (The average level of the Party is therefore 24) CR 24 is equal to EL 19 (there are four PCs in the Party so you don't increase their PEL as per Table 2-5: Party Encounter Level). So the party are PEL 19 facing an EL 24 monster. The difference is +5 EL. Therefore thats quite a difficult encounter for them. If the Party defeat the monster they recieve 24 (their average level) x 1600 (for an encounter +5 EL above their PEL) which is 38,400 EXP (as per Table 2-8, though you can just look it up on Table 2-9 on page 18); thus 9600 EXP each. CR still equals +1 per Level. But what I have done is outline the proper relationship between CR and EL. See Table 2-9: Determining Experience Points. Not at all mate, no apologies necessary. Its always easier to have someone take you through any rules the first time whenever possible. :) If you still have any questions, no matter how small don't hesitate to ask mate. [/QUOTE]
