[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 5645283, member: 14159"] I figure that's because the Balor is always supposed to be a top-level Demon in any version of D&D, it's level/CR/XP total is arbitrarily set towards the top of the power that PCs are ever expected to get. In 3.x, Epic levels are not in the Core Rules, the core rules presume a 1st to 20th campaign. Well, in the 3.5 DMG they had some very, very barebones Epic info, but no Epic monsters at all. The Balor was set to it's CR in 3.x intending for it to be something that would be a fair fight for a campaign-ending battle. Same concept in 4e, they just spread out the 20 levels of an assumed full campaign into 30. It's one reason I don't see 30th level in 4e, 3e and 2e/1e as really representing the same degree of power and progression. [/QUOTE]
