[QUOTE="Talysian, post: 5108539, member: 66895"] I cut monsters HP by 75% then I do the +1/2 level for every creature level 5 and over, and below five I add +2. I also average out all mosnter damage to the following. d4= 3 d6=4 d8=6 d10=7 d12=8 I know it's a little higher then the statistical average but it also helps with the bonus dmg. So you have an orc grunt that is a level one creature that typically does d6+1 dmg, and has 30 Hp. Under my way. 22 HP 7/9 dmg representing normal/critical. If I had one that had rogue levels that gave him 2d6 sneak I would do it like this in my stat block. 7/9 w/CA 15/21. I've also taken to making players roll their defenses so a monster crit happens when they roll a 1. This has taken all of the dice out of my hands, kept my players more involved, and made combats much quicker. For my table it's been a win win situation. [/QUOTE]
