 What exactly is the challenge rating? Is it automatically generated from the levels, feats, and abilities you give a bad guy? Or can you adjust the challenge rating yourself and somehow make a level 1 monster fight like a higher level?

Also, how is the xp that's awarded to the player determined? Is there a place where you can adjust that yourself?

Challenge rating is basically how tough you think the creature is to fight. It's not automatically generated, and setting a CR for a custom monster is up to you based on how tough you think it is compared to other monsters. You can adjust it yourself but it does not change anything about the monster. It's only used for xp calculation.

The module property XP scale (or something similar) lets you adjust the rate of getting xp for killing stuff module wide.

Thanks! Does the CR equal anything specific though? Is a CR of 5 equal to a level 5 PC?

There's a discussion of CR here:

And here's a calculator: http://www.d20srd.or...ntercalculator/

Technically yes, but that's for pen and paper where the DM is intelligently controlling them.

Assigning CR in NWN is more of an art than a science. I tend to think of CR as being roughly equal to a single pc of that level, maybe a little lower.

You can use sites like monsterfinder.dndrunde.de/ to see the CR of basically every monster in DnD, with links to their official stats.

So basically it's a matter of experience and ball parking...Thanks guys

Quick random question that I didn't feel like making a new thread for. I know there is a way to make placeables neatly stack on other placeables...like a candle on a table. I forgot what the button was though. Anyone know?

[rjshae]

's' for stack

But YMMV. Some placeables don't stack perfectly, and some not at all.

actually cr5 means that the monster is a moderate challenge to a party of 4 pcs with the level of 5. considering that the whole cr system is kinda borked even in its pnp origins, i wouldn't get too serious about it.

Haha, Iveforgotmypassword...I like that method
