You should write why.p. 9 Are you applying the Silver Rule to the decimal CR or to the rounded one? You should write it. (it's to the decimal... 10 * 0.85 = 8, but the CR of the aboleth is 9)How do you apply the Silver Rule to fractional CR? (in truth it's Negative CR... Probably you should divide by 0.85 instead of multiplying (-1 * 0.85 = -0.85... The monster is more powerful!))How do you calculate the bonus HP of oozes and constructs? (oops... Oozes don't have HP bonus in 3.5... Only construct get it)p. 14 "Rustproof" colossus? 99% of the creatures are rustproof... Simply the Iron Golem should have a vulnerability to magical rust!p. 14 Are you saying that the CR of the Monster Manual are to low? Do you think that a Balor has a 50/50% in a fair fight with a 28 level warrior/barbarian/paladin?p. 15 What strange formula have you used to pre-calculate the EL? It's even stranger than the Wealth Rules for Epic characters! Ah... Now I see: 4 * log2(CR) + 1. You should write it somewhere! p. 17 You forgot to change the +/- sign for some modifiers (the ones that make the encounter more difficult)What do you mean with "party outnumber opponents"? You shouldn't be telegraphic!p. 19 You forgot to define what is 100%... Probably you should have calculated the CR of the base classes as a CR and not as a percentage of the CR1 or CR20. You have just finished building a very complex system to calculate CR and then you decide to ignore it and "invent" other numbers.Silver Rule: you should have put the Silver Rule near the Golden Rule, with a link to the appendix for the reasons of this rule. So a reader doesn't have to read the Appendix to be able to build a CR.In the new DM guide (the 3.5) there is a paragraph about adding non-compatible classes to monsters (for example adding a level of Wizard to a giant). It's even included in the SRD. Perhaps you should put a note in your manual.What's happened to the ECL rules? Didn't you found a formula to convert CR to ECL?What about Epic Feats? How much are they valued? How much powerful does a monster become if I substitute a standard feat with an epic one?Outsiders: there is a VERY large class of spells usable against outsiders. Shouldn't they get a bonus? It's like Undead and Turning...--- Bye</blockquote>
