In my mind, it's kind of liking sniping some of the henchmen of the BBEG and then running off.What you're looking for is probably p. 293 & p. 302 of the MM under advancing monsters and creating new monsters. You'll discover that the normally CR 1/3 Hawk becomes something like a CR 3-4 creature.I also agree with Gilladian. IMO, CR and xp based on it is over-rated/used. I used to use time spent playing but now I give xp as I see fit with bonuses for role-playing, story completion, etc.. I have an adventure to make them xth level? Then when they are half way through, they may get 1/3 to 1/2 the xp (IME, players like to get xp every week - its a cheaper award than giving them magic).</blockquote>
