[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 1276722, member: 2358"] CRGreathouse: It makes sense by the rules whether it fits your simulation macro/micro junk or not. This game is not a math equation nor is it calculus. There is one goal and one goal only, that being balancing wealth earned to XP earned, period. How the hobgoblins divide treasure is a moot point and doesn't matter in the game itself. EL X should yield Treasure Level X, regardless of the number of creatures. Also, the PDF states outright that hobgoblins are CR 1.5, so I don't know where you got your number from. UK: My treasure by EL IS fixed. Where do you get it being relative? EL 8 always yields the same treasure no matter who faces it. All the other equations are what give treasure away in relative manners. That brings me to . . . Wulf: You CAN'T give out treasure DIRECTLY on XP because then the SAME encounter yields DIFFERENT amounts for different party levels! That's just stupid! Every encounter (NOT creature, though) should have a fixed amount of treasure to give. EL 1 is X amount, EL 2 is X amount, and so on and so forth. Cheiromancer: Such equations have no place in D&D because 99.9% of people don't understand such equations, myself included, and I was in honors math! [/QUOTE]
