Now, I don't know if I should have posted this else where, but I trust your comments more.

I was wondering how in the City of the Spider Queen adventure, some of the Encounter Levels are calculated.

Is there a formula they used that I don't know of? :confused:

My first confusion came as early as Chahir's encounter (He's CR 10 + 2x Vampire Spawn = EL11 ??)

Plz HELP?

I thought the whole idea of buying a module was so we wouldn't have to think of these things:)

I would assume they use the encounter table (p101) in the DMG. They just keep breaking down the encounter. For eg:

EL 12 = 2 x CR 10 or 1 x CR 10 plus 2 x CR 8 or 1 x CR 10 plus 1 x CR 8 plus 2 x CR 6.

The Spawns are probably each CR6...

P.101 DMG:

2xCR6 = CR8
CR8 + CR10 = CR11

Oh, is that how they work it.

Never thought of reading the table that way.:D
