| Jul 14, 2016 at 2:08 | comment | added | daze413 | Did you scale up the randomly picked CR1 creature's HP by the AC it has? Did you take into account its Offensive CR? Remember the final CR is a combination of both Offensive and Defensive CR. Also, the monster's abilities have a large impact. See: Goblin's Challenge Rating and Nimble Escape, Ogre CR calculation: is it wrong or am I missing something?, Reverse engineering the Hydra CR | |

| Jul 14, 2016 at 0:33 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | @timster To be fair, the table does seem to be straight-up wrong, or at least entirely unrelated to any published monster's HP. Doubting its utility seems natural after comparing it to a few randomly selected monsters, not a matter of merely not liking it. | |
| Jul 14, 2016 at 0:26 | comment | added | Tim Grant | Hmm, you read the rules on this, and you didn't like them. But now you're asking where the rules are. You have a good point about the hit point range, and I think there's a good question here, but there is no secret "other rules" for this. | |
