    CR 1 or so. Playable aberrations are thin on the ground.

    And thank you for making me go back and dig up the Vote up an Index thread.

    Edit: Done. Enjoy. Just don't post, because I haven't asked Roland's permission and the last post was over a year ago.

    The winner is CR 0-1.

    Now voting for Size. Note that I've purposely left out sizes larger than large, as there's no good way to make a playable cr <1 critter bigger than large. Even large would be hopelessly crippled.

    Medium. Tiny or smaller creatures aren't particularly playable, after all.

    I say a playable Aberration Swarm would be tripplely fun, and fine would thus be good, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen so Small.
