A good EL Calculator?
Are there any truly functional EL calculators ?(that WOTC one sais that 7 CR 1 creatures are a challenge to an EL 7 Party . Right.) or is there a rule of thumb I can follow to calculate CR that I'm unaware of?

Re: A good EL Calculator?
If I use one I use this one...

But I ignore the difficulty given both here and in the DMG. CR1 can under really good circumstances be much more challenging than CR 4 opponents. + you should do CR by yourself, not by the book. If it is tough it gets better CR then something chars defeat easily.
Example clerics and undead...

Re: A good EL Calculator?
Extrapolating from the books:
Tripling the number of creatures increases CR by +3 (apply first)
Doubling the number of creatures increases CR by +2
Creatures more than eight levels above or below the PCs do not grant XP.
By those formulas, you should send nine CR 1 enemies after an lv7 party.Last edited by Prime32; 2010-08-30 at 07:49 AM.
