What is the CR of this creature?

[tennyson]

Hi Everyone,

I know that an ettin is a CR 5 creature. How would I figure the CR of an ettin with a level of fighter added on?

On the same note, is the CR of normal core races based on character level? (Example: a level 3 mage is CR 3, or a Level 5 Ranger/Level 2 Fighter is a CR 7).

Thanks for the help!

For CR's add the class elvels to the CR. So the ettin with one level of fighter is CR 6

For core races and anything else with a CR less than one, CR = total class levels.

For creatures with a CR of 1 or greater, CR = base creature CR + total class levels. SO your ettin Ftr1 would be CR 6.
